Southbridge medical provider Harrington HealthCare System has officially cut the ribbon on its new 16-bed mental illness and substance abuse facility in Webster and expects to begin accepting patients by early January at the latest, according to a company announcement Friday.
As the healthcare system strives to treat those with mental illness and addiction, urban providers may be able to cope with demand, but the picture is different in rural parts of Worcester County.
The Southbridge facility making baked goods under the “Superior on Main” name is part of a $725-million deal orchestrated by a private equity firm that took the company public on Monday.
Karen Spiewak has been named director of development at Harrington HealthCare System and will oversee contact with the community as well as the organization's philanthropic efforts.
