UNCASVILLE For Mohegan Tribal Chairman James Gessner, and presumably for many others, the most important thing one can have is their health.
“If anything, this past year has taught us that we each need to prioritize our personal health and wellness,” Gessner said during a speech.
On Monday afternoon, the Mohegan Tribe and Yale New Haven Health held a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Uncasville Medical Center at Mohegan Sun, on 2 Sandy Desert Road, near the Norwich border. The 8,500-square-foot facility, which started service on May 10, is the culmination of two years of work between the two entities.
Medical services offered at the site include primary care, walk-in care and specialty care, and includes nine exam rooms and a procedure room. While the site is primarily intended to serve the employees of Mohegan Sun, President and General Manager Jeff Hamilton said it’s to serve communities throughout southeastern Connecticut.
Rachel Lee, of Uncasville, is happy to be dining out again, especially since her son Paul Lewis, of Oakdale, is planning on taking her out to dinner for Mother s Day.
It s great that we are able to go out again and I can hug my son, Lee said.
With Mother’s Day coming Sunday, and the end of many of Connecticut s remaining COVID-19 business restrictions May 19th, local restaurants are expecting moderate to busy turnouts.
Olde Tymes Restaurant owner Rodney Green isn’t expecting a huge difference in the number of guests that come to his restaurant compared to any given Sunday, except that the line out the door might be a bit larger.
