Our Mission

The MISSION of Holyoke Medical Center is to serve the health needs of the community in a high quality and efficient manner.

Our History

Holyoke Medical Center originally opened its doors in 1893 as Holyoke City Hospital.  Former Congressman and Mayor, William Whiting, led a group to make a non-sectarian Hospital in Holyoke a reality. In 1927 the name of the hospital was changed to Holyoke Hospital, to better clarify that the institution was not a municipality.  The name was changed once more in 2003 to Holyoke Medical Center. 
 

Our Size

What started as a 40-bed hospital in 1893 has grown to be a 198-bed facility with 1,200 employees.  Each year Holyoke Medical Center admits more than 7,500 patients, while the Emergency Department currently experiences an annual volume of more than 45,000 visits.
