Our Academic Medicine Tradition
All of our primary care doctors and specialists maintain faculty positions at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, our partner school. We constantly teach, learn and bring the latest health care discoveries and treatment options to those needing them most: Our patients.

In recognition of January’s Glaucoma Awareness Month, Lianna Valdes, MD, Ophthalmologist at our Eye Center, appears in the latest episode of Health Watch to discuss the different types of glaucoma and stresses the importance of regular eye exams to ensure this damaging disease can be identified and treated early.
UMass Memorial Health CT Lung Cancer Screening Program
UMass Memorial Health is a pioneer in low-dose computer tomography lung cancer screening, and our program is a designated Lung Cancer Screening Center, accredited by the American College of Radiology. Our program allows for the proactive and safe screening of patients for lung cancer, starting with a baseline screening for patients who have been identified as being at risk for developing lung cancer. These patients then return for annual follow-up screenings to detect any changes.
