MetroWest Medical Center

Athol Hospital has risen to the top as the most profitable in Central Massachusetts, according to data released Thursday.

MetroWest Medical Center will no longer close its neonatal intensive care unit at its Framingham Union Hospital, opting to instead keep a step-down NICU open.

Health insurer Point32Health has named Patrick Gilligan as the Canton-based nonprofit’s new CEO, effective this past Monday.

DPH’s request comes after the state agency deemed Framingham Union’s NICU an essential service following the hospital’s April announcement that it planned to shutter its 12-bassinet unit by June 10.

Framingham Union Hospital's parent company has said it will consider the public’s request to operate at least a NICU with reduced services.

John Whitlock, CEO of MetroWest Medical Center in Framingham, has resigned, putting an end to the tenure of the hospital’s sixth leader since 2017.  

Framingham Union has until May 9 to prepare a plan explaining how the hospital’s special care nursery services will be maintained for the residents of its service area.

Adult hospital readmission rates in Central Massachusetts came in just below the state’s average in 2023.
