Stamford Health and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), located in Stamford, Conn., announced a collaboration to create a center for advanced orthopedic care serving Connecticut and New England.

Under the collaboration, Stamford Health will adopt HSS best practices across the entire orthopedic service line, and surgeons from HSS in New York City will be providing care through HSS Orthopedics at Stamford Hospital.

HSS Orthopedics at Stamford Health will be available on a dedicated fifth floor of the new Stamford Hospital building late this year, and later this month (February 2017) at Tully Health Center.

HSS has provided pre-, post- and non-surgical care in Connecticut since 2001. The 20,000-square-foot HSS Outpatient Center at Chelsea Piers Connecticut in Stamford will continue to provide those services, as will the neighboring HSS-Stamford Health Sports Rehab facility.
