Emergency CON Application

Emergency Certificate of Need Application

The Emergency Certificate of Need application process administered by the Office of Health Strategy (OHS) Health Systems Planning Unit has been designed to maintain continuity of care in a Connecticut community if a hospital files for bankruptcy protection. OHS will complete an emergency, expedited review of a potential purchaser required or approved by the bankruptcy court with a goal of preserving access to high quality, affordable healthcare for all Connecticut residents.
