Our commitment to the health of individuals and families throughout New England is at the center of all we do. We invite you to see how our campaigns are improving the quality of healthcare for our community and for all who will count on us in the coming years. Campaigns are currently underway to expand our facilities on our Worcester campuses - the Hahnemann Ambulatory Surgery Center Campaign, the Cardiac Catheterization Center Campaign, and the Women's Breast Center Campaign. Community campaigns are also underway at Clinton Hospital, Health Alliance, and Marlborough Hospital. Because elective and non-elective surgical care is in such extraordinary demand from UMass Memorial patients, operating rooms at both the Memorial and University campuses are currently scheduled for use from dawn until dusk.
Patients often endure long waits for an available operating room.
In addition, patients scheduled for elective procedures may find their procedure rescheduled at the last minute because an emergency surgery takes precedence. UMass Memorial is committed to its goal of providing patient-centered care, and the construction of this new Center is a prime example of that commitment. UMass Memorial Health Care will convert its Hahnemann Campus on Lincoln Street to an outpatient day surgery center, providing enhanced access convenience and comfort for patients. Surgical suites will be complemented by exam and procedure rooms, laboratories and physicians offices - all designed to provide a friendly, convenient experience four our patients. UMass Memorial Foundation Board Member Russell Fuller is chair of the fundraising campaign for the Hahnemann Ambulatory Surgery Center.
