Marlborough Campus: Our Priority Projects

Your generous donation allows us to continue to innovate and provide advanced, research-backed care to our community. Our current projects include:

Proton Therapy Service

UMass Memorial is building the first proton therapy service in Central Massachusetts. Proton therapy is targeted radiation therapy for cancer. It delivers precise doses of radiation to tumors while minimizing damage to the surrounding healthy tissue. This precision typically leads to fewer side effects and improved quality of life during and after treatment. The need for this type of therapy is increasing but not widely available in Massachusetts.

Proton therapy can benefit people of all ages, especially:

• Older adults or those with chronic health issues: They are at a higher risk for harmful effects from radiation therapy.
• Children and adolescents: Their growth and development can be affected by the cell damage that occurs during radiation therapy. Proton therapy keeps them safer and protects their long-term growth.

People undergoing proton therapy require daily treatment, but many live far from a health care facility. Bringing this innovative technology to local communities:

• Expands access to lifesaving care
• Reduces travel and financial burdens for families needing advanced, precise cancer care
• Improves health equity by making this advanced treatment available to everyone in our communities

ED and Specialty Care Expansion

UMass Memorial is undertaking an expansion of Marlborough Hospital’s Emergency Department (ED). This initiative will:

• Enhance patient care, experience and outcomes
• Reduce wait times
• Provide a healing environment for patients and their families
• Offer specialized, innovative care closer to home
• Improve staff morale

Our plans for the project include:

Expand ED Capacity

We plan to increase the ED to include 23 treatment rooms, up from 13. Our ED operates at 100% capacity most days. An expanded ED will nearly double the number of patient rooms. It will also feature new treatment rooms, including rooms for patients of all sizes and two new trauma rooms.

New Multidisciplinary Clinic

This new service will be dedicated to caring for people with chronic diseases. Research shows that patients feel more supported when they receive care from a collaborative, coordinated team. Health care professionals from various specialties will work together to provide seamless care. Patients can find the whole-person care they need close to home.

Spectral CT System

This sophisticated CT scan provides sharper images, supporting more precise detection of tumors, fractures and heart disease. It also scans patients faster, leading to prompt diagnoses of strokes and other conditions that require timely care.
