Tufts, NE Baptist, Team for $300M Hospital

BOSTON-Tufts-New England Medical Center and New England Baptist Hospital will develop a suburban hospital that would be the first in the state in more than 25 years. The facility is expected to span 500,000 sf.

BOSTON-Two locally based medical facilities will join forces to develop what could be a $300-million hospital in Boston’s suburbs. It will be Massachusetts’ first new hospital in more than 25 years. Officials have yet to select a site for the new facility.

“Our view is that it would be advantageous to take sophisticated medicine to people where they live in the community,” Joan Fallon, executive vice president of external relations at Tufts, tells GlobeSt.com. If completed, the hospital would be the first built in the state since 1980 when the Lahey Clinic was constructed in Burlington.

Although no firm plans have yet been developed for the project, Fallon says the hospitals plan to issue a request for proposals later this month. That RFP would reportedly include the construction of a 500,000-sf medical facility with up to 200 beds at a cost estimated of about $300 million.
