Massachusetts health officials are reviewing a proposal from Mass General Brigham to expand its health care system, which is one of the largest in the state.Under the proposal, Mass General Brigham would open two new outpatient health centers in Woburn and Westborough while expanding the one that is currently in Westwood.Mass General Brigham also wishes to expand bends and other services at Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital and make upgrades at Massachusetts General Hospital.”(Patients) get the care that they need in the right place, at the right time, and we have room for our more complex patients in our academic medical centers,” said Dr. Sunny Eappen, chief medical officer and senior vice president of medical affairs at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.Sharon Judd, a Marlborough resident who suffered a stroke, said she must see her doctors at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston between 15 and 20 times per year.The stroke Judd suffered left her unable to drive, so her husband must take time off from work to bring her to each of her BWH visits. Thus, she supports Mass General Brigham’s proposed expansion.”It would be amazing to have a local facility because I’m 15 minutes away from (the proposed Westborough location),” Judd said.Critics of Mass General Brigham’s proposed expansion, including the Coalition to Protect Community Care, call the large health care system’s plan “disastrous” for smaller community hospitals and patients’ wallets.”Its blatant grab for commercially insured individuals will not only raise statewide health care costs and to nothing to ease inpatient capacity constraints, but also threaten the viability of high-quality, affordable community providers that played a critical role during the public health emergency, potentially forcing some of them to close,” reads a statement from the Coalition to Protect Community Care, a group made up of several organizations.Judd, however, said she does not see a potential expansion of the Mass General Brigham health care system in that light.”I, as a patient, am not going to be a patient at the local community hospitals. I’m too complicated,” she said. “I, as a patient, should not be punished — if you will — by not having available access that’s close.”The Massachusetts Department of Public Health is expected to make a recommendation regarding Mass General Brigham’s expansion proposal in the coming weeks. After the DPH makes its recommendation, the state’s Public Health Council will then vote on the proposed expansion plan.The Mass General Brigham health care system includes Massachusetts General Hospital; Brigham and Women’s Hospital; Mass Eye and Ear; McLean Hospital in Belmont; Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital; Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital; Cooley Dickinson Hospital in Northampton; Martha’s Vineyard Hospital; Nantucket Cottage Hospital; Newton-Wellesley Hospital; Salem Hospital; and Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover, New Hampshire.
