Noble Health Network is officially part of Baystate Health, culminating a four-month process to bring the 97-bed Westfield community hospital into the 899-bed Baystate system.
The hospital has been affiliated with Baystate for some time, sending all trauma victims to the larger hospital, and even outsourcing all its lab work to the institution.
The latest change will allow Noble to keep more of its patients in house, Noble President and CEO Ronald Bryant said in an interview, by rotating specialists in cardiology, general surgery, neurology and infectious disease from Baystate into Westfield.
“Our employees won’t see much of a change because we’ve been working with (Baystate),” Bryant said. “But our patients will see enhanced services.”
