Leadership with Bristol and Day Kimball Hospitals deferred to UConn Health for comment. Scanlon said Monday that the potential deal now being considered could bring financial stability to the state health center and benefit the communities surrounding Waterbury, Bristol and Day Kimball Hospitals. Prospect’s Connecticut hospitals — Waterbury, Rockville General and Manchester Memorial — have faced longstanding financial and operational problems, including a cyberattack in August 2023. “And that is what this is.” (Rockville General and Manchester Memorial aren’t part of the proposed acquisition by UConn Health.) Prospect acquired Waterbury Hospital in 2016 and then sold those assets to the REIT in 2018.
