Descriptiontext

UMass Memorial Medical Center is the flagship academic medical center and largest healthcare system in Central Massachusetts, operating as the clinical partner of UMass Chan Medical School. As of mid-2025, the system comprises six hospitals — UMass Memorial Medical Center (University Campus), Children's Medical Center, Harrington, HealthAlliance-Clinton Hospital, Milford Regional, and the newly integrated Marlborough Campus — supported by 2,500+ affiliated physicians across the UMass Memorial Medical Group and more than 125 outpatient, primary care, urgent care, imaging, and laboratory locations serving approximately 1.5 million appointments per year. The system delivers comprehensive acute care including Level 1 trauma, cardiac surgery, pediatrics, behavioral health (via Community Healthlink), oncology, orthopedics, and primary care across its integrated delivery network.

Core technology consists of Epic's EpicCare Link provider portal and MyChart patient portal, with clinical-trial access through the Conquering Diseases consortium and a content platform (Simply Well) for patient engagement. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service patient care, with reimbursement sourced from commercial insurers, Medicare, and Medicaid; the system is a private nonprofit under the UMass Memorial Health umbrella and discloses no public ownership. Go-to-market is direct-to-patient via facility-based service delivery, supported by an active Find-a-Doctor directory, multi-channel social media presence, earned media coverage, and a flagship community partnership with the Worcester Red Sox. The customer base is geographically concentrated in Central Massachusetts and consists of a very large, long-tail patient population rather than discrete enterprise accounts.
