Together, Berkshire OB/GYN of BMC will include 10 physicians and three certified nurse midwives.
The partnership follows the closure of North Adams Regional Hospital in 2014. Northern Berkshire OB/GYN was a former practice of the hospital until it closed, after which it became a Berkshire Health Systems practice.
The consolidation will help ensure access to maternal child health services in the community and ensure the practices’ stability in the changing reimbursement landscape, according to a statement.
