About Us

For more than 117 years, Backus Hospital has provided quality healthcare to the residents of eastern Connecticut.

Our 213-bed, not-for-profit, acute care community hospital is the primary source of health services for nearly a quarter-million people. Since its founding in 1893, Backus has continually provided programs and services, and formed strategic alliances with other healthcare organizations and providers to meet the healthcare needs of the region.

In addition, Backus is a Comprehensive Community Hospital Cancer Center, a state-designated Primary Stroke Center, and is the only trauma center east of the Connecticut River and it is the only regional facility that has a hangar for LIFE STAR, Hartford Hospital's air medical transport helicopter.
