There are two Pre-Admission Centers (PAC) in the Central Region, located at MidState Medical Center and the Hospital of Central Connecticut.
PACs offer comprehensive pre-operative care for all patients scheduled for elective surgery. All patients must have a surgeon affiliated with Hartford HealthCare to participate.

Will my doctor instruct me on steps after my surgery?
