State Senator Joan Hartley, 15 District, who represents Waterbury Naugatuck and Middlebury, was in attendance at Governor Ned Lamont and Attorney General Tong’s press conference today addressing Prospect Medical Holding’s recent Chapter 11 Bankruptcy filing.

Hartley. “I want to reassure our community that patient care remains a top priority and the hospital is committed to continuing to provide high-quality services. While the full impact of this development is not yet clear, I will work closely with the Mayor, Waterbury Delegation, and all stakeholders to ensure that our residents continue to receive the excellent care they deserve. Waterbury’s resilience will guide us through these challenging times.”
