Nuvance Health is receiving little more than $2 million in federal funding to expand mental health and substance abuse treatment services.  The funding was included in the 2022 Omnibus Appropriations Bill.  The federal grant will fund the creation of a new outpatient services center in Norwalk, which is slated to begin providing services later this year. This will be the first phase of a three-phase initiative to improve mental health services delivered in the Nuvance Fairfield County region’s hospitals in Norwalk, New Milford, and Danbury.  Senator Richard Blumenthal visited Norwalk Hospital today to discuss the funding.
