TUG robot in the new hospital tower

Starting this fall, our new “TUG” robots will be roaming the floors of UConn John Dempsey Hospital, transporting prescription medications from the pharmacy to our medical teams.

This is where you come in—our four new friends need names! Submit your TUG name below, along with your name and email. Submissions are due by September 9. Winners will be announced on Facebook.

In the meantime, the pharmacy folks are busy preparing for the TUGS’ first day and that includes making sure the robots know where they’re going (and don’t run into anything along the way). Watch the video to see how it’s done.

Photo Gallery: Health, Safety and Environment Fair

Posted on by

The 2016 Health, Safety and Environment Fair was a huge success with hundreds of UConn Health employees stopping by the Food Court to learn more about being healthier, safer, and environmentally aware. They also got a chance to play some games, meet Jonathan the Husky mascot, and take photos with the 2016 NCAA Women’s Basketball trophy.
