Future
In March 2010, Gov. M. Jodi Rell proposed establishing the UConn Health Network, a collaboration with area hospitals designed to create jobs and improve access to quality health care in the state. The $352 million plan calls for a new patient tower and renovations to John Dempsey Hospital, contingent on securing $100 million from the federal government or, failing that, another source outside of state government. Other terms of the proposal include transfer of licensure of UConn's NICU beds to Connecticut Children's Medical Center, a regional cancer center, a regional simulation center at Hartford Hospital, a primary care institute at St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center, a health disparities institute, a bioscience enterprise zone, and continuation of the Connecticut Institute for Clinical and Translational Sciences. The State House gave final legislative approval in the closing days of the 2010 session.
In June 2010, the UConn School of Medicine received a “warning of probation" by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) following their scheduled reaccreditation site visit by representatives in January of the same year. The medical school was found to be partially or substantially noncompliant with fifteen (15) standards and is now required to correct areas of non-compliance by submitting a corrective action plan by December 15, 2010. The School of Medicine will be revisited by the LCME in 18 months and at that time determine whether the school is to remain accredited.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“How difficult the task to quench the fire and the pride of private ambition, and to sacrifice ourselves and all our hopes and expectations to the public weal! How few have souls capable of so noble an undertaking! How often are the laurels worn by those who have had no share in earning them! But there is a future recompense of reward, to which the upright man looks, and which he will most assuredly obtain, provided he perseveres unto the end.”
—Abigail Adams (1744–1818)
“Give me insight into today and you may have the antique and future worlds.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The final upshot of thinking is the exercise of volition, and of this thought no longer forms a part; but belief is only a stadium of mental action, an effect upon our nature due to thought, which will influence future thinking.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
