Paving a Bold Path Forward

Dear Yale Health Community,

I am honored to reflect on Yale Health’s incredible progress since its establishment in 1971 as a pioneering campus healthcare provider. Over the last five decades, Yale Health has grown into a vital support system for over 49,000 members and their families. Today, our state-of-the-art, light-filled facility at 55 Lock Street in New Haven is more than just a health clinic; it symbolizes our dedication to providing all members of the community with the personalized, comprehensive care they need to thrive.

As we look ahead, the Yale Health 2030 Strategic Plan is designed to help us navigate the oncoming challenges of a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, including rising costs and limits to access. We stand at a pivotal moment where these challenges can present opportunities for growth, as long as our dedication to excellence and innovation remains central. By advancing our systems for care and keeping our focus on our patients’ and employees’ experiences, Yale Health is prepared to lead with resilience and foresight.

We believe that healthcare is more than a service; it’s a commitment to our members. Together we will navigate challenges, uphold our legacy of excellence, and cultivate a collaborative environment where patients, providers, and employees feel empowered to achieve their goals.

Let us continue to drive positive change and earn the trust of the Yale community every day through our integrity and quality of care.

Thank you for joining us on this journey.

With deep appreciation,

Jason S. Fish, MD, MSHS, MS-MAS
Chief Executive Officer and
