Learn moreA real, in-town Emergency Department
Lawrence + Memorial Hospital operates the Pequot Health Center in Groton, offering a full ED (open daily 7am-11pm, NOT 24-hour), same-day surgery, imaging, rehab, and occupational health services.
No full inpatient hospital in Groton itself
A patient requiring hospitalization is transferred from the Pequot Health Center to Lawrence + Memorial Hospital in New London or Westerly Hospital in Westerly, RI -- Backus Hospital in Norwich is a separate, real, nearby option.
