Our Mission at Holyoke Medical Center is to improve the health of all people in our community. We do that with honesty, respect, and dignity for our patients, visitors, and staff. We do that through expert and compassionate care, education and knowledge sharing, community partnerships, fostering innovation and growth, and by inspiring hope in all we touch. We do that by being good stewards of our resources and providing efficient and cost effective care to all.
HMC is a nationally-accredited hospital and is the first and only hospital in Western Massachusetts to obtain the prestigious accomplishment of becoming certified in the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System. HMC has also received five prestigious national and state awards for excellence and quality of stroke care in Massachusetts. Along with stroke care accolades, our Women’s Center offers the most significant advances available for the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer and has been designated by the American College of Radiology as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence. It was the first hospital in Western Massachusetts to successfully complete the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers. Our Weight Management Program is one of 12 locations selected nationally to be involved in the FDA trial of the Elipse Balloon. And, HMC earned an ‘A’ from The Leapfrog Group for its efforts in protecting patients from harm and meeting the highest safety standards in the U.S. The Safety Grade assigns an A, B, C, D, or F grade to hospitals across the country based on their performance in reducing errors, injuries, accidents, and infections with patients in their care. Earning an ‘A’ puts Holyoke Medical Center among the top third of all 2,600 participating hospitals across the country.
