St. Vincent's Medical Center (Bridgeport)
St. Vincent's Medical Center in Bridgeport, Connecticut is a 473-bed Catholic, tertiary-care hospital. It is part of Hartford HealthCare, which bought the hospital from Ascension in 2019. The medical staff includes about 450 physicians, and the hospital employs more than 1,800 people. The center offers advanced services such as angioplasty, bariatric surgery, cancer care, and orthopedic services. The Family Birthing Center provides private labor, delivery, and recovery rooms, private bathrooms, space for the father to stay, and an entertainment center. For mental health needs, there is an on-site acute-care psychiatric unit, and Hall-Brooke Behavioral Health Services in Westport provides inpatient and outpatient care. The hospital is affiliated with the Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University.
In 2016, St. Vincent's joined the Veterans Choice Program to care for veterans. It also operated St. Vincent's College, which trained students in fields like General Studies, Medical Assisting, Nursing, and Radiography. Sacred Heart University acquired the college in 2017, and its programs were merged into Sacred Heart's College of Nursing in 2024.
St. Vincent's was founded by the Daughters of Charity and incorporated in 1903. The original building opened in 1905 with 75 beds. In 1976, a new 440,000-square-foot hospital building opened behind the old one, and the hospital was renamed St. Vincent's Medical Center.
