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:
“Imagination places the future world for us either above or below or in reincarnation. We dream of travels throughout the universe: is not the universe within us? We do not know the depths of our spirit. M The mysterious path leads within. In us, or nowhere, lies eternity with its worlds, the past and the future.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
“It is given to few to add the store of knowledge, to strike new springs of thought, or to shape new forms of beauty. But so sure as it is that men live not by bread, but by ideas, so sure is it that the future of the world lies in the hands of those who are able to carry the interpretation of nature a step further than their predecessors.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“I was so grateful to be independent of the academic establishment. I thought, how awful it would be to have my future hinge on such people and such decisions.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
