Every year some 29,000 patients undergo surgery at Baystate Medical Center, more than any hospital in western Massachusetts. In March 2023, our new operating rooms and interventional suites open to support our promise of meeting the critical healthcare needs of our community and to support the technical and clinical advances in the ever-changing world of surgery. Operations needing an overnight stay will be performed in this new space including neurosurgery, cancer, cardiac, robotic surgery, trauma surgery, total joint replacement surgery and more. In the interventional suites, new state-of-the-art imaging and catheter-based technology will minimize open surgery and optimize procedures that involve the heart and brain. The needs of our patients were integral in the design with enhanced privacy and space for loved ones to be close during phases of care.
