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.
The volume in Central Massachusetts ERs is still expected to grow, exacerbated by a primary care shortage and incoming $1 trillion in cuts nationally to Medicaid.
As the Nashoba Valley Region continues to grapple with the loss of a hospital, a local group received a three-year, $250,000 grant to bolster health equity in Ayer, the Healey administration announced Wednesday.
