Ways to Give

The Grateful Patient Program is a way to say “thank you” and recognize those who have provided you or your loved one with exceptional care and compassion.

St. Vincent’s has always been dedicated to helping patients in Bridgeport and throughout Fairfield County. Now, as part of Hartford Healthcare, St. Vincent’s has even more to offer: more access, more choices, and more health services. Our mission to improve the health and healing of the people and communities we serve means always looking for new and innovative ways to meet the needs of our patients.

Stories of Gratitude

10 East & the Rehab Team

A grateful patient made a gift in honor of Dr. Kelly, 10 East & the Rehab Team.

Upon making the donation she stated, “You all saved my life, and my way of life. For that, you must keep doing what you already do, which is always to help and advocate for your patients. And just know that you are the experts and this is where all your years of training and experience pay off. Thank you, and I will never forget you all!”
