DERBY,
Conn., May 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Griffin
Hospital in Derby was recently
recognized by Newsweek as one of the World's Best Hospitals for the
sixth consecutive year, highlighting its commitment to providing
standard-setting, high-quality, patient-centered care, and to

commitment to the Planetree person-centered care philosophy and the
awe-inspiring ways our caregivers value and respect our patients,
visitors and community as a whole with an extraordinary level of
skill, professionalism, enthusiasm and kindness."
