Saying Thanks
Create a Tribute, Make a Difference
The University of Connecticut Health Center is committed to providing excellent care for the people of Connecticut and beyond. Patients and their loved ones who choose to give back to the Health Center provide vital support for our core mission and make a difference in the lives of countless other patients and their families.
“We often look at issues as large as cancer and wonder how we individually can make a difference.
I’m not a clinician and I’m not a researcher. But I can do this for the future, and I hope others
will consider doing the same.”
–Greg Contas, donor

Support Breakthroughs in Medicine
When you make a gift in the name of a doctor or nurse, you not only recognize them for their exceptional care, but also provide support for their work. Our faculty and staff are translating discoveries made in the lab into advances in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cancer, heart disease, oral health and so much more. Your gift will benefit patients today and for generations to come.
