We remind visitors to the Steward Health Care and affiliated sites that nothing ever takes the place of a personal visit with your doctor. While we are happy to provide as much medical information as possible, if you have any questions about your health, make an appointment and discuss your questions with your caregiver. She or he is in the best position to make decisions with you about what is in your best interest.

Steward Health Care System and all of its programs and activities are accessible to and useable by disabled persons, including persons who are deaf, hard of hearing, or blind, or who have other sensory impairments. Access features include:

• The right to receive considerate, respectful and compassionate care in a safe setting regardless of your age, gender, race, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or disabilities.

Prior to your admission to Nashoba Valley Medical Center, you will receive a call from a patient registration representative who will gather information for your medical records and answer any general questions that you may have. If you have not heard from us two days before your admission, please call the admission department at 978-784-9246.
