How you can help

When it was founded, local residents and area leaders brought together a vision, a dedication, and the financial support to create Middlesex Hospital. They wanted what each of us continues to want today – to improve the quality of life of our community and have the security of first–rate medical care close to home for our families, our neighbors and our friends.

Our founders set a precedent of caring and philanthropy that remains a cornerstone of Middlesex Hospital. Today, thousands of residents, businesses and organizations make financial contributions to support the many programs that touch our lives. Together, our family of friends are helping Middlesex Hospital reach new heights in serving the people in our community.

The Office of Philanthropy offers many opportunities to support the health of your community.

This site offers you information about the various ways in which you can contribute to Middlesex Hospital and invest in the health of your community.

Support Middlesex Hospital's Emergency Departments

Donation Form

Middlesex Hospital operates three extraordinary Emergency Departments: at the main Hospital in Middletown, and two freestanding Emergency Departments at our satellite Medical Centers in Essex and Marlborough.

From heart attacks, strokes, and any manner of acute illness and injury, all three of our state-of-the-art Emergency Departments receive patients and ambulances from throughout Middlesex County and beyond, regardless of the patient's ability to pay. In cases of severe trauma, helipads are located at each facility to provide quick access to trauma services.

Our exceptional team of physicians, nurses, and support staff posess both the skills to save lives, and the caring and compassion to comfort and heal the sick. With Emergency Department locations in Middletown, Essex and Marlborough, our patients can be assured that they will have fast, convenient access to the urgent care they need.

Operating three Emergency Departments is expensive. Diagnostic and treatment equipment, medications and facility maintenance costs are constantly on the rise. But we are committed to our community, and we will continue to expand and improve the services we provide.
