I was thrilled to participate in today’s Basketball Capital Pro-Am youth basketball clinic, the first of four this summer. These clinics provide an incredible opportunity for youth not only to learn basketball from amazing coaches but to learn valuable life lessons — instilled through playing the game. Each clinic provides all participants with food, basketballs, and sports apparel at no cost.     I am so proud Hartford HealthCare is part of this community to support the Basketball Capital Pro-Am. Special thanks to Greg Butler and Eversource Energy for sponsoring these clinics and our many community partners and volunteers for donating their time to make this a tremendous success. #HartfordHealthCare #WeStandTogether
