The hospital has added several services and providers in the last year and a half in preparation for increasing its transfer intake, including expanding to 24/7 heart attack care and adding robotic-assisted surgery. The hospital recently accepted its first transfer patient via helicopter, according to a June 2 news release. 

“[It] was a remarkable achievement for WRMC,” said Richard Keddington, CEO at Watertown Regional Medical Center. “Other area hospitals are now transferring patients to us via ambulance and helicopter looking for a higher level of care.”
