PROGRAM

For nearly 150 years, this community has entrusted Baystate Health with its health and wellbeing.

From our earliest beginnings at Springfield Hospital, to the modern-day Baystate Medical Center, to today’s continually evolving integrated healthcare system, Baystate Health has grown alongside the many lives we serve.

We are humbled and privileged to make a difference in the lives of our patients every day.

In celebration of this year’s Spring 2021 Chamber Concert Series, we are proud to support the Springfield Symphony Orchestra as the Premiere Series Sponsor.
