AN ACT ESTABLISHING A CENTER OF EXCELLENCE FOR NEUROMODULATION TREATMENTS FOR VETERANS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT IN COLLABORATION WITH HARTFORD HEALTHCARE PHYSICAL MEDICINE AND REHABILITATION.

HB 5339 establishes a Center of Excellence for neuromodulation treatments for veterans at the University of Connecticut, collaborating with Hartford HealthCare Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. The bill amends state statutes to provide dedicated funding for this center, which will focus on advanced neuromodulation therapies like nerve stimulation for veterans with chronic pain or neurological conditions. It directly affects veterans seeking specialized rehabilitation care by creating a new, dedicated treatment hub. The key provision is the statutory funding mechanism to support this specific partnership between UConn and Hartford HealthCare.
