Bill > S907

This bill is an emergency legislation designed to protect healthcare access in Norwood by requiring the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to reissue a specific healthcare facility license (number 2114) that was originally issued on November 6, 2022. The bill overrides any existing laws or regulations that might otherwise prevent the license reissuance, with the explicit purpose of maintaining critical healthcare services at Norwood Performance Therapy. These services include essential medical treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, radiology, and other life-saving health therapies and medical studies. By mandating the license reissuance, the bill aims to ensure continuous healthcare provision and prevent potential disruption of medical services that could impact patient care. The emergency declaration in the preamble emphasizes the urgent nature of preserving public health and the immediate need to protect healthcare access for the community.
