Becker's Healthcare February 25, 2025
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey has halted the closures of Pappas Rehabilitation Hospital for Children and Pocasset Mental Health Center, pending further review and consideration from community stakeholders.
In January, the state shared plans to relocate services provided at Pappas Rehabilitation Hospital in Canton to Western Massachusetts Hospital in Westfield, Mass., by the fall. At the time, state officials said the shift was necessary due to deteriorating conditions at the Canton facility. The move was expected to save the state about $31 million, according to budget proposals cited by NBC affiliate WGBX-TV.
Pocasset Mental Health Center, a 16-bed psychiatric hospital, would have closed entirely.
