Patient Care
More than 800 Yale physicians provide primary and specialty care for patients through Yale Medical Group. Yale Medical Group delivers advanced care in more than 160 specialties and subspecialties, and has centers of excellence in such fields as cancer, cardiac care, minimally invasive surgery, and organ transplantation. Yale physicians have made many historical contributions, including the first use of cancer chemotherapy, the first artificial heart pump, and the first insulin infusion pump for diabetes. Today they perform such groundbreaking procedures as bronchial thermoplasty to treat severe asthma, and are one of the few centers providing such treatments as a new “gold shunt” drainage device for patients with glaucoma. Yale Medical Group is a major referral center for Connecticut and New England, and treats patients from throughout the world.
