The more than 40 inpatient beds at Boston's Tufts Children's Hospital will be converted to much-needed ICU and medical/surgical beds for adults, the hospital's operator announced Thursday.
Wellforce Health System, which runs Tufts Medical Center and the children's hospital, said in a statement that pediatric patients will now be referred to Boston Children's Hospital, under a letter of intent to work together expected to become effective July 1, subject to regulatory approval.
“Our medical center has never been stronger, but now patient needs are changing,” said Dr. Michael Tarnoff, President and CEO of Tufts Medical Center. “As we look toward the future, we must make this difficult but crucial decision."
