When you need a band-aid and a kiss you go to your mother, but where do you go when the really big stuff happens? A hospital of course! Connecticut is home to 27 hospitals, more if you count health centers and psychiatric centers. But your best bet is one of these hospitals, ranked by U.S. News & World Report and Health Grove as the best of the best in Connecticut.
