We are dedicated to meeting the evolving healthcare needs of the Yale community through these strategic initiatives.

In 1971, Yale University became one of the first universities in the U.S. to provide health care services to its faculty, staff, and students through an on-campus health maintenance organization (HMO). Today, Yale Health serves more than 49,000 members of the Yale community and their families, with most care and services provided in our state-of-the-art facility at 55 Lock Street in New Haven. 

Yale Health views our members as full partners in all efforts relating to their health. Our more than 150 board-certified healthcare providers (physicians, Advanced Practice Providers, and others) share that team approach to care.

Yale Health is a not-for-profit organization and has been continuously accredited by the Joint Commission since 2005. The Joint Commission accredits and certifies nearly 21,000 healthcare organizations and programs in the United States. Its accreditation and certification are recognized nationwide as a quality symbol reflecting an organization’s commitment to meeting certain performance standards.
