Carl J. and Ruth Shapiro Cardiovascular Center - Dedication |
|
|
| The City of Boston is world known for its excellence in medicine. Yesterday, we welcomed the newest addition to Boston's first class treatment facilities - The Carl J. and Ruth Shapiro Cardiovascular Center at Brigham and Women's Hospital. The first of its kind to Boston, the Shapiro Center is entirely devoted to cardiovascular care. Patients are now able to receive the treatment they need, under one roof. (By the way, the roof is painted white - The Shapiro Center is also the first green hospital in New England!) |

...So new there weren't any beds yet!
Each room in the Shapiro Center is private, and has the means to accommodate family members comfortably. |
