Silver Hill Hospital is a non-profit psychiatric hospital in New Canaan, Connecticut[2] established in 1931. The hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission and provides behavioral health care treatment.[3] This includes psychiatric and addiction services.

From 2010 to 2018, Silver Hill Hospital hosted the annual Giving Hope Gala, a fundraiser to benefit the Patient Financial Aid Fund, which assists patients lacking funds to cover the costs for the hospital's long-term residential treatment programs. The gala was founded by Michael Cominotto and husband Dennis Basso.[4]
