MelroseWakefield Healthcare awards grants
MelroseWakefield Healthcare, in collaboration with Shields Surgery Center Medford, is awarding $120,000 in grants to Massachusetts-based programs as part of a Community Health Initiative.
The recipients are nonprofit organizations and municipalities with approaches to improve the health of their communities through meaningful and sustainable change. They include Wakefield Board of Health, MetroNorth YMCA, the city of Malden, Boys and Girls Club of Wakefield and Stoneham, and Riverside Community Care.
MelroseWakefield Healthcare partnered with Shields Health Care Group and Tufts Medical Center Physicians Organization in development of the ambulatory surgery center, and surgeons from seven physician practices will operate there. The 14,000-square-foot newly-constructed outpatient surgery center features three operating rooms and two procedure rooms and performed its first surgery in December.
