I dont know Milford inside out, but since OP had a chronic illness, i thought being close to Yale new haven hospital would be nice. I assume it would be bigger than hospital in Milford?

Yes--Milford is a small community hospital that does a lot of elective procedures, but is fully equipped, and is fine for most purposes. Yale-New Haven Hospital in New Haven is a top flight teaching hospital with two campuses in the city, and is affiliated with Yale Medical School. Any case at Milford that requires expertise and/or facilities beyond what they have will generally be transferred to YNHH. I have experienced some health complications of my own over the years, and all of my treatment has been at YNHH. The really serious stuff gets handled at the original York Street campus. The St. Raphael's campus is a smaller hospital that YNHH bought out a few years ago, but I have had treatment at both. I would put the York Street Campus on the same level as Mass General or NY Presbyterian.
