Public Announcement Concerning a Proposed Health Care Project

UMass Memorial Health Care Inc. (the “Applicant”) located at One Biotech Park, 365 Plantation Street, Worcester, Massachusetts 01605, intends to file a request with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health for a Significant Change (the “Application”) on behalf of UMass Memorial Medical Center (UMMMC) for its licensed satellite, North Pavilion Campus located at 378 Plantation St, Worcester, MA 01605. The previously issued Determination of Need (#UMMHC-22042514-HE) approved the construction of North Pavilion Campus to include 72 new medical/surgical beds and shell space for future clinical services (the “Project”). The Project also approved the addition of 19 medical/surgical beds at UMMMC’s Memorial Campus (the “Memorial beds”). The Applicant now requests approval to build out the shell space at North Pavilion Campus to accommodate 24 additional medical/surgical beds at North Pavilion Campus in lieu of the approved construction of the 19 Memorial beds (the “Proposed Change”). As a result, the Proposed Change represents a net-new increase of five (5) medical/surgical beds at UMMMC.

The total maximum capital expenditure (MCE) of the Project was $143,242,167.00, of which $7,335,836.00 was not spent. The capital expenditure for the Proposed Change is $16,247,426.00.  Accordingly, the Proposed Change increases the MCE by $8,911,590.00 for a new total MCE of $152,153,757.00 (expressed in September 2025 dollars). The Applicant does not anticipate any price or service impacts on the Applicant’s existing patient panel as a result of the Proposed Project.
