Child Care

The Saint Francis Child Care Center, for employees and house staff, is housed in an attractive, homelike setting across the street from the hospital. Licensed facilities exist for infant-toddler care as well as a fine pre-school program. The Creative Child Care Center is a developmentally-based, University of Connecticut Health Center sponsored program in Farmington. It accepts children as young as six weeks. Preschool and kindergarten experiences are offered up to age six.

Fun

Spring and summer find many of us hiking and biking, playing softball, tennis, and canoeing on the region's rivers and lakes. Our "formal" department social activities include an annual summer family picnic, a holiday dinner and dance, and a graduation ceremony in June. Additionally, many smaller outdoor and/or potluck events are held throughout the year. A highlight is our annual February ski trip into the mountains of nearby New Hampshire or Vermont. We also celebrate the end of each week with Friday afternoon refreshments at the Practice Center.

Fitness Center

Saint Francis has its own fitness center, located at 95 Woodland Street, immediately next door to our family practice center. This low-cost facility has excellent equipment, group workout classes and staff, with hours convenient for house staff.
