Denied, then approved on refiling
Elective PCI without cardiac surgery on site
Stamford Health intervened both times. The 2025 refiling, 25-32808-CON, has its own row.
Each row is one docket at the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH), which took over the program from OHS on July 1, 2026: the applicant, the project, the filing type, the capital expenditure, the received, deemed complete, notice and hearing dates, intervenors, the decision and who signed it, conditions, and links to the documents on the state's CON portal. The busiest service lines are outpatient surgery, substance abuse, CT scanners and MRI. The busiest filer towns are Hartford, New Haven, Newington and Stamford.

The 10-row sample has every column.
The file covers 843 dockets: 320 CON applications, modifications, waivers and emergency CONs filed or decided from January 2016 through October 27, 2026, and 523 determinations. Dates, costs and conditions come from the decision and settlement documents on the state's CON portal; 2016 and 2017 come from the archived Office of Health Strategy (OHS) decision and application lists, which miss some withdrawn applications from those years. OHS ran the program from 2018 to June 30, 2026. Public Act 26-68 moved it to the Department of Public Health on July 1, 2026, and the docket numbers and the portal carry on.
