SHELTON - Curtiss-Ryan Honda in Shelton recently donated $5,000 to Griffin Health to support the expansion of its surgical services.
The funds will aid Griffin’s multi-phase surgical expansion project, which will enhance its surgical capabilities and expand capacity to better serve the growing number of individuals across the region that are choosing Griffin Health for their care.

In 2017, Griffin built a new Ambulatory Surgery Suite to increase the number of pre-op/post-op rooms and provide easier access for patients and caregivers. 
Griffin is now preparing to increase its number of operating rooms from six to seven and build a state of-the-art technology operating room to accommodate robotic surgery cases for its da Vinci Xi Surgical System.
“We are grateful for Curtiss-Ryan’s generous support of our surgical expansion project, which will enable us to provide our patients with more minimally-invasive robot assisted procedures for an exceptional surgical experience with faster recovery times and better outcomes,” said Griffin Hospital Chairman of Surgery Dr. Richard Salzano.

Turnback Tuesday highlights the classics ... classic cars that is. 
These beauties were shown parked in front of Griffin Hospital in Derby. 
Going from left to right, the blue one parked behind the bush is the ever-popular VW Bug. The turquoise car is a '55 Dodge. Next, the black and white one is either a '57 or '58 Packard/Studebaker, which has features from both vehicles since the two companies merged in '57. 
The blue and white one is a '55 Chevy, the orange and black one is a '56 Pontiac and last, but not least, the yellow one is a '53 Pontiac. 
Thanks to Pete Seaholm for his auto expertise.


Thanks as always to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
