Outpatient Services

Outpatient services are medical procedures or tests that can be performed without an overnight stay at the hospital. We offer a wide array of outpatient services at Waterbury HEALTH that span wellness and prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation.

  • Cardiac diagnostic testing: We perform routine and complex diagnostic procedures to evaluate cardiovascular health in order to identify any issues that may require treatment. Diagnostic testing is available at both the Cardiology Associates of Greater Waterbury’s Cardiac Diagnostic Center and The Heart and Valve Center on the hospital’s main campus. To make an appointment, please call (203) 573-7264.

  • Gastroenterology services: The gastroenterologists at Waterbury Hospital use state-of-the-art equipment to perform a colonoscopy or endoscopy on an outpatient basis.
