Who owns Stamford Hospital?
Stamford Hospital was founded by Judge John Clason. Clason was also a farmer and served as a state legislator, town assessor, and school board member. After consultation with Edwin L. Scofield, the second mayor of Stamford, regarding possible philanthropies, Clason sold some of his lands for $45,000 to get the initial funding for the hospital.
In 2018, Stamford Hospital and Hospital for Special Surgery opened a collaborative nursing unit and operating rooms within the main hospital, staffed by HSS orthopedic and sports medicine physicians. Additionally, HSS and Stamford Health staff collaborate at Stamford’s Chelsea Piers facility, primarily for sports rehabilitation.
Additionally, Stamford Health recently expanded its relationship with Columbia University to offer treatment and expertise from Columbia University Irving Medical Center’s nationally recognized heart surgeons, right here at Stamford Hospital. Stamford Hospital SYSTEM IS 100% OWNER.
