Most everyone listens to music. From rock to jazz and everything in between, we use music therapy to make your hospital stay more comfortable.

Lowell General Hospital has earned accolades at both the regional and national level as a best place to work, and our nurses continue to be among the most highly-trained and well-regarded in the region. Beyond patient care, nurses are involved in interdisciplinary collaboration to improve protocols and embrace technology to transform the way we deliver care.

We are pleased to offer our clinical team ongoing professional development opportunities within Tufts Medicine Lowell General Hospital. This includes defining, implementing and maintaining educational standards that promote professional growth and ongoing clinical competencies for the nursing staff to support career advancement.

Thank you for taking the time to inquire about our concierge primary care services at the Pratt Diagnostic Center at Tufts Medical Center.

Thank you for your interest in seeking support from Lowell General Hospital/Circle Health.

At Tufts Medical Center, we partner with patients and their families to improve health care. That’s what our Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC) is all about. It’s a place where patients and families can speak up about their health care issues and questions.

Tufts Medicine is full of lifelong learners with a passion for discovery. Our continuing medical education (CME) programs give them the support they need to stay up-to-date with the latest innovations in their fields, meet licensure requirements and provide the best possible care to our patients.

Cigna agrees to keep Tufts Medicine in its network so you can continue to see your valued care team.

With the explosion in novel cancer therapies, cancer outcomes have improved dramatically resulting in a growing population of cancer survivors. Simultaneously, there has been a rise in cardiovascular side effects of these cancer therapies that is limiting quality of life and life expectancy of cancer survivors.

The mission of the Cardiac Biology Research Center (CBRC) is to advance our understanding of fundamental mechanisms that regulate cardiac structure and function across multiple disease conditions, including heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, pulmonary and systemic hypertension, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, autonomic dysfunction and arrhythmias. With advanced expertise in molecular cardiology, integrative physiology, molecular imaging, nanotechnology, biomedical engineering, and translational research, the CBRC studies novel signaling mechanisms that govern cardiomyocyte and non-myocyte cell populations.

The Center for Translational Pharmacology and Genomics focuses on leveraging molecular pharmacology, biology and genetic approaches toward the development of novel therapeutics.

The Vascular Biology Research Center (VBRC) investigators work to understand the molecular underpinnings of healthy blood vessel function and how dysfunction develops, which can lead to cardiovascular diseases including high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke.

The Molecular Cardiology Research Institute (MCRI) explores the fundamental basis of human diseases through the systematic collection and analysis of blood and tissue samples from patients treated at Tufts Medical Center. To investigate these molecular and cellular mechanisms as they relate to human biology, the MCRI Bio Bank Core Lab obtains written consent from patients.

The MCRI Cell Culture Core Laboratory is responsible for maintaining and growing the large biobank of human, murine, and other cell lines utilized to make scientific discoveries about how the cardiovascular system works at the cellular level. Functions of the Cell Culture Core Laboratory include isolation, maintenance and cryopreservation of cells, media preparation, training of investigators in aseptic and cell culture techniques, and consultation on novel cell culture methods. Cell proliferation assays, immortalization of cells, expansion of cell lines, establishment of transient and stable cloned cell lines, and preparation of cells for experiments are also provided. The core has the ability to establish new primary cell lines from a variety of tissues, especially vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) and endothelial cells (EC) from humans, mice and other species.

The MCRI Interventional Research Core Laboratory supports pre-clinical translational research, providing scientific expertise in the coordination and execution of biomedical animal research studies to aid in the design, development and testing of cardiovascular medical devices and other therapies.
