The second largest healthcare provider in the state, Steward Health Care, is making moves to extend outside of its Eastern Massachusetts stronghold through a new partnership with a 200 physician independent practice association based in Central Massachusetts. This follows a growing trend of Boston companies extending into the Central Massachusetts market whether we are talking health care or real estate investment.
How do you feel about Boston companies expanding into Central Massachusetts?
This is why it is even more important for us to support local companies.
I don't want to see the business community here lose its local flavor.
Companies in Central Mass. have been isolated for far too long and could use the competition.
Bring. It. On.
