Honor Your Caregiver

Bridgeport Hospital is More Than a Building It is a Collection of People Providing Excellent Care and Their Stories.

These stories are about dedicated physicians, nurses, physical therapists and other caregivers that provide high-quality and compassionate care.  They are about the support staff that makes the patient experience more comfortable. And they are about the many families and individuals that benefit from such kindness.

There is no time like the present to say thank you to the caregivers who made a difference in your stay.
