The future of Union Hospital will be discussed among a 16-member panel.
By THOMAS GRILLO
The future of Union Hospital will be the subject of a public hearing on Thursday at the Franco American War Veterans Hall at 535 Western Ave., at 6 p.m.
The Urgent/Emergent Care Planning Group is expected to make a presentation about their findings and take questions and comments from the audience.
The 16-member panel includes public officials and their representatives, physicians and managers from the North Shore Medical Center, and nonprofit executives.
Last year, the state approved a $180 million plan by Partners HealthCare to expand the North Shore Medical Center (NSMC), close Union and move the beds to a new Salem campus in 2019.
