The Worcester nonprofit Girl Scouts of Central and Western Massachusetts is under new leadership.

The Health Foundation of Central Massachusetts awarded four grants totaling $1 million to area nonprofits in order to improve child mental health, access for children to affordable health care, food delivery for people in need, and child care businesses.

Central Massachusetts professionals are getting hired and promoted at companies like Mechanics Hall, Mirick O'Connell, MutualOne Bank, and Bowditch & Dewey.

The report calls for a number of improvements to Framingham/Worcester Line service.

A face familiar to the Worcester healthcare community has been tasked with tackling the statewide nursing shortage.

Fundraising continues to grow, with donors and foundations contributing nearly $1.4 million in 2023 for operating support and special projects. That’s up from $1 million in 2020, and $286,000 the year before Beam arrived to lead development.

After months of discussions, UMass Memorial Health in Worcester and Milford Regional Medical Center have signed a definitive agreement for corporate affiliation, allowing the struggling MetroWest hospital to receive support from Central Massachusetts’ largest healthcare system. 

The fiercely independent Milford hospital long resisted efforts to join with another hospital system, but a $15-million operating loss in fiscal 2023 helped force the board of trustees' hand.
