As Hartford HealthCare seeks to expand its footprint in Fairfield, Windham and Litchfield counties, it’s facing some pushback from nearby competitors.
The second-largest healthcare system in the state — which operates seven acute-care hospitals — has been working to establish an outpatient surgical center in Plainfield, while seeking approvals to acquire more than 51% stakes in existing surgical centers in Torrington and Wilton.
HHC is also looking to take over governance control of a Trumbull-based surgical center.
