Nashoba Valley Medical Center, part of the Steward Health Care system (Steward), announced today that it paid $478,424 in taxes to Ayer for 2015, and an additional $7,758 to neighboring towns, making it one of the largest private taxpayers in the community. As one of the largest taxpayers in Ayer, Steward provides unrivaled financial support for local schools, first responders and municipal services.

When Steward Health Care, parent company of St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center, set out to pioneer a new, online patient-user experience, they decided to draw inspiration not from other medical industry players, but instead from the digital presence of major retail brands. As part of the effort, St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center now has a completely revamped online look – one tailored to make it easier for patients to access services, find information, and schedule appointments.

Morton Hospital extends our thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims of yesterday’s events. We also want to express our appreciation to law enforcement officers and to emergency medical personnel including those within Morton Hospital who delivered critical response services during these events to help prevent further loss of life or injury.
