History

In April 1891, a meeting of city civic leaders was held at the residence of William Whiting to discuss need for a modern hospital in Holyoke. Plans were drawn up for a donor subscription fund managed by Catherine Turner and Anna Fairfield Whiting, wives of Edward Taft and Whiting respectively; their largest contributor would be silk-magnate William Skinner, who would subsequently serve as president of the board of directors.[3] By May 23, 1891, the Holyoke City Hospital was established, opening its doors in on June 10, 1893.[4][5] From 1893 until 1977 the hospital was also home to the Holyoke Hospital School of Nursing.[6][7]

Services provided

Holyoke Medical has 171 physicians on the active medical staff and an additional 96 courtesy or consulting physicians, patients receive care in multiple specialties.[1]

Holyoke Medical opened a new $25.3 million emergency center in June 2017. This group will provide a new crisis center for psychiatric services, 40 treatment areas, and advanced lifesaving equipment.[8]
