Mory's is Closed

Yale's Lanman Center

Yes, it's Yale's re-purposing of basketball facilities for the COVID-19 wave that it hopes will not come. No, it's not a hospital.

the Lanman Center, if activated, will house only “very low acuity” patients who are stable but need to remain isolated from high-risk family members. The facility will provide general care to these patients by monitoring their vitals and supplying food and hydration while they recover....sick and healthy patients would be housed separately, with patients who are severely ill remaining at Yale New Haven Hospital.
