Greater Boston 05-816 G R E E T I N G S , P H Y S I C I A N S A N D healthcare leaders. Welcome to the latest issue of the industry magazine about, from and for physicians: MD News Greater Boston. Our cover story this month focuses on Harrington HealthCare System's growth in Worcester County and northeastern Connecticut. At a time when many com- munity hospitals in the Boston area are either struggling to remain competitive or are being bought up by larger hospitals, it's refreshing to see a success story. Our interview with CEO Ed Moore and other members of the hospital leadership focuses on Harrington's mission of pro- viding "Total Local Care" for the surrounding community. In other stories, the increasing number of seniors has created demand for new care models from healthcare providers. Whether preventing falls or managing multiple chronic conditions, physicians are rising to the chal- lenge. Our special clinical feature examines ways some experts are recalibrating treatment for seniors, such as the implementation of geriatric ERs. We also look at nuanced diabetes management. And our Data Vault offers a statistical snapshot of geriatrics today. A problem that touches on both senior health and the practice of medicine in the general population is the abuse of opioid pain relievers. Our national feature describes new, abuse-deterrent formulations — and their drawbacks. Health care is always changing. Tell your colleagues about your role in that change. MD News is an effective means for medical professionals to share their expertise with providers throughout the region.
