Shields and UMMH advancing access to innovative healthcare

New healthcare technology will soon be available to residents in Central Massachusetts as Shields Health strengthens its partnership with UMass Memorial Health with the addition of a first-of-its-kind PET/CT (Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography) scanner.
