The 511-bed Hospital of Saint Raphael, a community teaching hospital affiliated with Yale University School of Medicine, is
renowned for excellence in patient care and medical education.
We’ve been recognized as one of the Top 100 Hospitals in the
United States by Solucient Leadership Institute (a national,
independent healthcare information company) for overall services,
cardiovascular care, intensive care, stroke care, orthopedic
services and cardiac bypass surgery. U.S. News & World Report
has also listed Saint Raphael’s as one of 50 of "America’s Best Hospitals"
for cardiac care; ear, nose and throat care; hormonal disorders; neurology
and neurosurgery; and respiratory disorders. We’re the hospital of choice
in the region for adult surgical services and
overall services for people 65 and older, plus we were named one of the
top 50 hospitals in the country by AARP.
With beautiful and comfortable facilities, some of the region’s top
healthcare professionals, and sophisticated programs and services, Saint
Raphael’s combines quality medicine and medical education with a commitment
to the dignity and better health of each patient. As high-tech as we are “high-touch,”
we have been recognized for pioneering medical procedures like beating heart bypass,
as well as for spearheading national breast cancer, prosthetic knee and congestive
heart failure clinical trials.
Regionally, we’ve been cited for being among the first hospitals to use
high-tech diagnostic and treatment devices like 3 Tesla MRI and combined
PET/CT for superior scanning; intensity modulated radiation therapy for
prostate cancer; stereotactic radiosurgery for brain and head tumors; and
bedside monitor-defibrillators for cardiac patients.
All of our nursing units are equipped with state-of-the-art
mobile, computerized medication carts that make prescribing and administering
medications safer, quicker and more efficient.
