Quality of Life
Western Connecticut and Massachusetts offer the quintessential New England lifestyle. Rolling hills, lush valleys, picturesque waterways and lakes accented by colorful forests provide a memorable yet ever-changing landscape.
The cities of Hartford and Springfield hug the Connecticut River, while Waterbury sits on the Naugatuck River and Stafford Springs is near the Willimantic River. All four locations blend the best of historic and modern architecture, and are within an easy drive of Boston and New York City. All also offer urban, suburban and rural residential environments, as well as an excellent selection of local public and private schools, colleges and universities. A career with Trinity Health Of New England can put you in the middle of it all.
