Was it bought out by Palmer or Baystate in Springfield?

They bought it quite a while before they closed, they were the ones that hired me in the first place. Before covid, they invested millions in 3 new 3D mammo machines, a new oncology area, and brand new wound care clinic with brand new hyperbaric chambers. Everyone in my dept was also combined with Wing Hospital in Palmer, including myself. When the closed the ED at ML there weren’t enough consistent hours for me at Wing due to the consolidation.

Not in the form of a hospital, and not sure how much longer as it is. This whole area is suffering from the lack of “good food” except Teresa’s. Actually not sure if Debbie Wong was “good food “ tbh but it did add some diversity to burgers, pizza and subs…

I drove by this place for the first time in a while yesterday and was surprised to see this. Hopefully someone is feeding the fish…

Dang. Loved the fish tanks as a kid, got the non alcoholic pineapple drink in a hollowed out pineapple, and then the face towels to end the meal.

I always say Ware needs fewer small businesses, theyre just so replete with things going on. That's sure to help the economy and town morale.
