The Brain and Spine Institute at UConn Health in West Hartford is gradually opening its new building in Farmington, Conn.
The facility will open to neurology patients on Jan. 22, with other specialties following in the coming months, according to a Jan. 18 press release.
The facility will house neurology, cranial neurosurgery, comprehensive spine care and radiology, with plans to formally open in the spring.
The project has been in the making for two years and will consolidate all of UConn Health's brain and spine services.
Nearly all outpatient neurology services, including spine, multiple sclerosis, movement disorders, epilepsy, headache and stroke are relocating from the outpatient pavilion on UConn Health's lower campus.
The new building will also be the first facility for UConn Health Imaging, a freestanding, nonhospital outpatient imaging facility.
