Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center/Mount Sinai Hospital constitutes the second largest urban community hospital complex serving the greater Hartford metropolitan area. It includes a 16-bed pediatric inpatient service that is predominantly oriented toward general pediatrics, but also admits patients with highly specialized needs such as sickle cell anemia and adolescent services. Over 15,000 visits are made annually to the Pediatric Primary Care Center, which also serves as a practice site for the ambulatory curriculum and the continuity experience. Subspecialty clinics include Adolescent Medicine and Behavioral/Developmental Pediatrics, with those academic specialty divisions based there. Faculty interests include medical anthropology and culturally sensitive health care, pain management, sexual abuse, autism, and child health supervision services. Saint Francis is also home to the Hartford Regional Lead Treatment Center, a community program dedicated to helping children with lead poisoning and their families. Through its Mount Sinai Hospital component, Saint Francis is linked to the Fleet/Burgdorf Community Health Center, which serves as the third ambulatory practice and continuity site.
