Middlesex Hospital (Connecticut)

Middlesex Hospital is a non-profit, acute care community hospital in Middletown, Connecticut. It is a subsidiary of Middlesex Health System, Inc.

Its service area includes Middlesex County, Connecticut, and the lower Connecticut River Valley region. In 2015 Middlesex became the first hospital in Connecticut to join the Mayo Clinic Care Network.

In 1895 the Connecticut General Assembly issued a charter incorporating Middlesex Hospital. With a $20,000 grant from the state, and the gift of the Camp Homestead on Crescent Street, the hospital opened in the spring of 1904.

The hospital's nursing school graduated nurses from 1910 until the Ona M. Wilcox School of Nursing closed in 1997.

In July 2025, the estate of Gay Sherman Weintz filed a lawsuit in Middletown Superior Court citing negligent care leading to her death on April 22, 2024. That same month, Middlesex Hospital submitted a corrective action plan following Connecticut State Department of Public Health reports cited failures, including with regard to the patient death on the previous April 22.

Middlesex Hospital provides inpatient medical, surgical and emergency services, as well as outpatient care, including diagnostic, rehabilitation, behavioral health, disease management, radiology, laboratory, cancer care, homecare, wound and ostomy care, surgical services, urgent care, and a network of primary care offices. The hospital employs over 3,500 people and has 381 active medical staff, 77 courtesy medical staff, and 142 allied health professionals.

The hospital has a family medicine residency program and a radiologic technology school. In addition to its emergency department in Middletown, the health system operates two satellite medical centers in Westbrook, Connecticut, and Marlborough, Connecticut, with fully accredited, stand-alone emergency departments. Combined, the three locations serve the 4th highest emergency patient volume of all Connecticut hospitals. In 2022 the hospital had 11,902 discharges and 77,805 emergency department visits.

The hospital is licensed for 297 beds, 33 bassinets and serves a total population of over 250,000 persons.
