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:
“We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“If Germany, thanks to Hitler and his successors, were to enslave the European nations and destroy most of the treasures of their past, future historians would certainly pronounce that she had civilized Europe.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“Plato—who may have understood better what forms the mind of man than do some of our contemporaries who want their children exposed only to “real” people and everyday events—knew what intellectual experience made for true humanity. He suggested that the future citizens of his ideal republic begin their literary education with the telling of myths, rather than with mere facts or so-called rational teachings.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
