Tufts-New England Medical Center
American Shared originally helped Tufts-New England Medical Center to open its Gamma Knife Center in 1999. Like many of our clinical partners, Tufts faced challenges in obtaining the capital needed for this investment but wanted to be a leader in providing advanced technology for its patients. Due to the success of this center, Tufts has now moved to its second generation of Gamma Knife – but that is only the beginning.
Tufts recently signed an agreement with American Shared to acquire an IGRT system and computed tomography (CT) simulator as part of a complete radiation therapy department upgrade. And a PBRT system may soon follow, which will make Tuft's radiation therapy department one of the finest and most advanced in the country.
Commented David E. Wazer, M.D., Radiation Oncologist-in-Chief at Tuft's Department of Radiation Oncology, "American Shared has demonstrated its commitment to providing technologically advanced radiation oncology services based on a sound business model. This agreement assures that Tufts-New England Medical Center will continue to provide state-of-the-art radiation oncology services to our patients with the most advanced technology available today and tomorrow." |
