We are celebrating over 50 years of service to the Yale community.Our state-of-the-art facility at 55 Lock Street is where our members receive most of their care from our 150+ physicians and advanced practice providers. It is a 144,000 square foot multispecialty medical facility with over 90 exam rooms, an Acute Care Department, a 15-bed inpatient facility with two negative pressure rooms, a diagnostic imaging suite including MR and CT scans, an endoscopy suite, and a full-service retail pharmacy. Our patients are also supported by comprehensive behavioral health, care management, clinical pharmacy, and population health teams.As part of a physician-led health maintenance organization and an integrated health system embedded within Yale University, our physicians and advanced practice providers are free from fee-for-service medicine, volume-driven productivity targets, and long battles with insurance companies.
