While we await completion of the Mass General Brigham cost-analysis (the next step in the Department of Public Health’s decision to approve expansion), the Coalition to Protect Community Care has asked us to sign on to a message to our state legislators. You can help. It’s all automatic and takes less than a minute: click here.
The form letter is quick and easy. You just put in your name and address. The system will automatically generate a message to your area legislators, asking them to join UMass Memorial in opposing MGB’s strategy.
As today’s Op-Ed in the Boston Globe points out, “A recent proposal by Mass General Brigham (formerly Partners HealthCare) to build outpatient surgery centers in Westborough, Westwood, and Woburn marks a troubling new threat to the survival of community hospitals and to overall health care costs for Massachusetts residents.” Every signature counts. Thank you.
