USJ, Hartford Healthcare Announce Major Partnership

WEST HARTFORD, CT — A West Hartford-based university has announced a new partnership with a prominent health care provider starting this fall.

Hartford HealthCare and the University of Saint Joseph last month announced a partnership that will bring new health care options to USJ, including HHC’s telehealth platform.

USJ is the seventh school in the state to join Hartford HealthCare’s Campus Care program.

Through Campus Care, students can easily get primary care, preventative screenings, mental health referrals, and off-site urgent care.

USJ officials said this collaboration will better enhance student access to health care.

“At the University of Saint Joseph, we are deeply committed to the success and well-being of our students. This partnership reflects that commitment by ensuring our students have convenient, high-quality access to the care they need, on campus and beyond. Physical and mental health are essential foundations for academic achievement and personal growth, and with this collaboration, we are empowering our students to thrive,” said USJ President Rhona Free in a statement.

USJ said the partnership will offer virtual care options, ensuring students can access medical support anytime, anywhere.

Through HHC’s telehealth platform, students can connect with healthcare professionals for urgent care visits, mental health consultations, chronic condition management, and follow-up appointments — all from the convenience of their dorms or homes.

“I am thrilled about our collaboration with the University of Saint Joseph,” said Jeffrey Flaks, president and chief executive officer at Hartford HealthCare. “This partnership is a clear demonstration of our commitment to enhancing healthcare accessibility and driving innovation. "
