MILFORD, CT (April 19, 2022) – The Bridgeport Hospital Milford Campus Mother’s Day 5K is coming back in person.

Lace up your sneakers and join us at Milford Campus on Sunday, May 8 for the Mother’s Day 5K Run, 3K Walk and Kid’s Fun Run presented by Dillon’s Services. Click here to register at bit.ly/mcbhmomrun. Proceeds from this year's event will support the 3 East Renovation Project at Milford Campus.

Slated for completion in late 2023, the 3 East Renovation Project will transform a former maternity unit to a post-surgical age-friendly orthopedic unit. 3 East will feature 12 patient rooms, a family lounge, a multipurpose room for physical therapy and a conference room for staff education. The age-friendly design includes simple and easily readable signage, high-quality lighting, non-slip flooring, contrasting colors and furniture patterns for improved perception, stable furniture, spacious, clear walkways and rooms, hand railings on both sides of hallways and bed heights appropriate for older persons. Click here to make a gift or to find out more about the project.
