Leadership from all four organizations were present to mark this milestone. Additionally, local elected officials, community members, and staff joined the celebration to recognize this significant addition to the region's healthcare landscape. The center, which officially opened its doors in November 2024, has already begun serving patients and making a positive impact.
One patient shared, "I was very impressed with the office. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The young lady that did my ultrasounds was just wonderful. My doctor was extremely kind and very thorough…A great experience."—a testament to the compassionate and personalized care provided by the center's skilled team.
"We are thrilled to bring advanced vascular care to the local Lowell and Merrimack Valley communities," said Amy Hoey, RN, President of Tufts Medicine Lowell General Hospital. "This collaboration represents our shared commitment to improving access to specialized care and enhancing the overall health of the region."
