Readers speak: Why the UConn hospital merger would help CT

The merger of three small hospitals with the University of Connecticut would benefit all the citizens of Connecticut.

We built the Medical/Dental/Hospital Complex with taxpayer money as the crowning achievement of our public educational system. We built it to serve all the people.

All the people deserve high quality medical care regardless of their location in the state.

This merger will provide more beds for patients; it will provide more “on the job” experiences for students, interns and residents; it will expose them to different environmental settings. It is a win-win for all.

Good luck to Governor Lamont as he pursues this goal.
