MetroWest MC appeals to Massachusetts Land Court to block Newton-Wellesley facility

MetroWest Medical Center is asking the Massachusetts Land Court to overturn the Framingham Planning Board's approval of a site plan for a 24,000-square-foot outpatient surgical center proposed by Newton-Wellesley Hospital. In its appeal, MetroWest states that the competition posed by the expansion by Newton-Wellesley Hospital into Framingham would threaten MetroWest's two hospital campuses.
