UMass Memorial - HealthAlliance Hospital Expansion Approved
Sunday, February 12, 2017
“We believe that by combining under one license, UMass Memorial - HealthAlliance Hospital and UMass Memorial - Clinton Hospital can achieve a synergistic effect in medical care delivery that will benefit the communities involved. It will allow both facilities to draw on their tremendous combined resources to offer patients the right level of care along with improved access. We are pleased this process with the Health Policy Commission (HPC) and the Department of Public Health (DPH) moved along several months faster than anticipated,” said Deborah Weymouth, president of HealthAlliance Hospital and interim president of Clinton Hospital.
The hospitals are on target for an early spring groundbreaking for the Emergency Department and an October 1 merger of HealthAlliance and Clinton Hospitals.
“I want to thank the teams at both hospitals for all of their hard work. This affirms our belief that both the merger and Hospital Improvement Plan strengthens the capacity and resources of both entities to maximize high quality, convenient, compassionate and affordable care to the communities we serve,” said Douglas Brown, JD, president, community hospitals, and chief administration officer of UMass Memorial Health Care.
The Expansion
The Emergency Department Expansion at UMass Memorial - HealthAlliance Hospital will improve the overall patient experience, add advanced technology, create additional private rooms and increase the number of behavioral health beds.
The merger is a big part of the strategic vision to grow both hospitals and capitalize on new opportunities for an expanded organization. The Hospital Improvement Plan/Emergency Department Expansion at HealthAlliance shows the investment in our collective future and our dedication to our patients and the community we serve.
