Introducing an exciting opportunity to join Hartford HealthCare's innovative and supportive primary care team in Connecticut, where patient-centered care is prioritized-and enhanced by Ambient AI which streamlines clinical documentation, reduces administrative burden, and empowers physicians to focus more fully on meaningful patient interactions-supporting both exceptional care and provider well-being.
These opportunities arise from Hartford HealthCare's exciting partnership with the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation to build a new 21,000 square foot health center on tribal land - an innovative project that will expand access to modern, patient centered care for both Tribal members and the broader southeastern Connecticut community. This state-of-the-art facility will include two distinct yet connected spaces: dedicated Tribal Health Services for members of federally recognized tribes and a Hartford HealthCare clinic open to the public, creating a shared model that blends cultural affirmation with world class clinical excellence.
