Large Specialty-practices Center Planned at BMC North Adams Campus

NORTH ADAMS — The North Adams campus of Berkshire Medical Center (BMC) will soon be home to a convenient, single site for multiple physician specialties and associated programs, providing North Berkshire and Southern Vermont patients with greater access to care. Northern Berkshire Specialty Practices of BMC will open on Tuesday, Nov. 1 on the first floor of the North Adams campus, with access through the main lobby at 71 Hospital Ave.

Northern Berkshire Specialty Practices of BMC will consolidate in one location the offices of several BMC physician practices, including Cardiology Professional Services of BMC, Endocrinology & Metabolism of BMC and BHS Diabetes Education, Hematology Oncology Services of BMC, the Pain Diagnosis & Treatment Center of BMC, and Urology Professional Services of BMC.

“Berkshire Health Systems continues to expand access to essential programs and services in North Berkshire, and this new specialty center, combining many disciplines in one centralized location, will benefit our patients in the North Berkshire and Southern Vermont community,” said David Phelps, president and CEO of Berkshire Health Systems. “Patients often have a variety of health issues that require care by multiple specialty physicians and providers, and the Northern Berkshire Specialty Practices of BMC will provide a convenient space to better coordinate this range of care.”

Many of the BMC practices that are part of the center currently have separate offices on different floors in the Ambulatory Care Center adjacent to the North Adams campus of BMC. They will all be relocating to the Northern Berkshire Specialty Practices of BMC and sharing the single location. The practitioners who will be providing care at the Northern Berkshire Specialty Practices of BMC include Drs. Henry Lyle, Kristen Currie, and Teresa Menendez and Physician Assistant Brandon Gilvey (Cardiology); Nurse Practitioner Roberta Mansen (Endocrinology & Metabolism); Drs. Paul Rosenthal and Trevor Bayliss (Hematology Oncology); Dr. Robin Burns Lambert (Pain Diagnosis & Treatment); and Drs. Stephen St. Clair and Kevin Killeen (Urology).
