Hallmark Health Medical Associates (HHMA) - the employed physician group affiliated with MelroseWakefield Healthcare (formerly Hallmark Health System), including MelroseWakefield Hospital and Lawrence Memorial Hospital of Medford - is now called Tufts Medical Center Community Care. The new brand name was officially launched on Monday, June 4.
This name change comes as part of the growing partnership between MelroseWakefield Hospital, Lawrence Memorial Hospital of Medford and Tufts Medical Center. “This is a great opportunity to show the commitment we share with Tufts Medical Center to serve patients in the community. The providers and staff who our patients know and trust remain the same and will continue to provide exceptional care,” said Michael Newman, MD, president and chief medical officer of the newly named Tufts Medical Center Community Care. “ By partnering with Tufts Medical Center, our providers will share best practices and ultimately offer our patients more locations and services to help patients live a healthy lifestyle.”
Tufts Medical Center Community Care includes 21 practice locations and more than 90 providers, offering internal medicine, family medicine, OB/GYN and medical and surgical specialties throughout the north suburban Boston region. Providers are conveniently located in Malden, Medford, Melrose, Reading, Revere, Saugus, Somerville, Stoneham, Wakefield and Winthrop. The physicians and practice providers are still affiliated with MelroseWakefield Hospital and Lawrence Memorial Hospital of Medford, offering expert community services in collaboration with Tufts Medical Center for higher level specialty care when needed.
“We are excited about what the rebrand represents for our communities and patients,” said Patricia Sereno, MD, a Tufts Medical Center Community Care family medicine physician who practices in Malden. “This is a wonderful opportunity to share information about the outstanding quality and clinical excellence our community practices offer, along with the exceptional convenience and ease we provide our patients.”
The comprehensive services of Tufts Medical Center Community Care include offering same day/next day appointments, online appointment scheduling, urgent care, diagnostic imaging and laboratory services, quick and easy electronic access to your healthcare team through the patient portal, and seamless access to specialists.
Tufts Medical Center Community Care providers partner with Tufts Medical Center Primary Care, which has four practice locations and 21 providers south, west and north of Boston, and a downtown Boston location at Tufts Medical Center.
