One of the major health systems in Connecticut has expanded its urgent care network. Partnering with Go-Health Urgent Care for the deal, Hartford Healthcare has purchased Branford, Connecticut-based Stony Creek Ventures LLC and its two urgent care facilities in Branford and Orange.

Go-Health Urgent Care is an on-demand consumer-centric care platform that serves as the digital and physical front door to the healthcare ecosystem. It has locations in 14 states. In 2017, Hartford Healthcare and Go-Health Urgent created a joint-venture partnership to build an urgent care network in Connecticut. The partnership has nearly two dozen locations in Connecticut now, which will grow with the addition of the locations from Stony Creek Ventures. 

Hartford HealthCare has more than 400 locations serving 185 towns and cities — includes two tertiary-level teaching hospitals, an acute-care community teaching hospital, an acute-care hospital and trauma center, three community hospitals, a behavioral health network, a multispecialty physician group, a clinical care organization, a regional home care system, an array of senior care services, a mobile neighborhood health program and a comprehensive physical therapy and rehabilitation network. 

However, it’s not the only health system in Connecticut pushing in the M&A market. Yale New Haven Health System, based out of New Haven, recently purchased the operations of the hospitals, related businesses, real estate assets, physician clinic operations and outpatient services of Waterbury Health and Eastern Connecticut Health Network.
