One case of patient abuse is one too many.

State lawmakers and I have called for a full investigation into the patient abuse scandal at Whiting Forensics Division at Connecticut Valley Hospital:

On Monday, Nov. 13, the Public Health Committee will hold a 1 P.M. Public Hearing on the issue in Room 2C of the Legislative Office Building in Hartford.

I serve as Vice-Chair of the committee.

Here’s how you can speak out:

  • Include your name and town.
  • Your comments may be as brief as you like.

All public hearing testimony is public information.

There is an anonymous tip line at the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services to report any issues of concern: the phone number is 877-277-9471.
