WARE — The president and CEO of Baystate Health said Tuesday he knows there will be some anger in the community about the health system’s plan to wind down operations at the Mary Lane Outpatient Center over the next two years, shifting services to Baystate Wing Hospital in Palmer.
Dr. Mark A. Keroack — who saw patients at Mary Lane when he practiced in Worcester, and whose parents were born there in the 1920s — said people have an emotional attachment to the hospital, which has been part of Ware’s community since 1909.
