As the Nashoba Valley continues to reel from the 2024 closure of Nashoba Valley Medical Center in Ayer, the Gov. Maura Healey Administration is dedicating $5 million to reimburse the region’s overburdened emergency medical services.
Despite the setback, the centers have persisted. A major breakthrough came when the federal government restarted background checks needed to enroll students.
Mayor and Councilor-at-Large Joseph Petty said the City’s lower rate increases this year in comparison to cities like Boston and Cambridge will help drive business activity west.
The layoffs come after the state announced in October it would transition back to Wellesley-based DentaQuest as its third-party administrator for dental services.
