North Adams Regional Hospital closed its doors about a year ago, but now two of the operating rooms have been opened for outpatient orthopedic surgery, according to a WAMC report.
Berkshire Health Systems now owns the hospital and invested $6 million in renovating and opening the two ORs for orthopedic procedures. The health system has state permits for the new operating rooms and purchased new equipment focused on orthopedic surgery.
North Adams Regional Hospital also operates as a "satellite emergency facility" for Berkshire Health Systems.
