UConn Health Center ponders building new hospital

State legislators remain hesitant about a potential $475 million construction project that bring a new hospital building to the University of Connecticut's Farmington campus and would be a joint effort with Hartford Hospital to replace the financially troubled John Dempsey Hospital. The project, which has been under consideration by UConn for several years, would involve construction of a state-of-the-art hospital with about 250 beds.
