To celebrate the opening of our newest comprehensive medical center, Compass Medical Middleborough, we
hosted a VIP ribbon cutting and a public open house at our new site to introduce ourselves to the local
community on Friday November 4, 2011.
At 4:30 pm on Friday November 4th Compass Medical kicked off the VIP Ribbon Cutting Ceremony with
appetizers and mingling, followed by speeches by Compass Medical, P.C. Executive Director Jamie Barber,
Middleborough Town Manager Charles Cristello, State Senator Marc Pacheco and Compass Medical, P.C.
President Dr. George Clairmont. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the four orators brandished ribbon cutting
scissors and posed for a photo op of the actual ribbon cutting. Over 100 people were in attendance at the
invitation only VIP Ribbon Cutting Ceremony, comprised of Local Healthcare Executives, Community Leaders
and Compass Medical Providers.
Guests of the ribbon cutting were encouraged to also attend the public open house, where building tours,
conducted by Compass Medical staff, were provided all night long, touring through the Radiology, Urgent Care,
Primary Care and Cardiology suites. Informational tables about Compass Medical services were set up in the
lobby, as well as Compass Medical Middleborough Providers and staff on hand all night answering questions
and navigating the tours. By the end of the event, the public open house hosted over 400 local community
members, and registered 30 new patients on the spot. Many community members remarked how excited they
were that they now had a convenient Urgent Care Center right in their community rather than having to continue
to travel to further towns.

DOES THE STEWARD AFFILIATION AFFECT ME? A GUIDE FOR CHANGES TO BE EXPECTED
Though there have been many news pieces within the local medias since the affiliation was announced in December, we at
Compass Medical wanted to directly address the foremost question on our patients mind, What does this mean for you?
For our patients, you can still expect the high quality, comprehensive care that they have always enjoyed with us, while
still having access to local specialists. Our Providers will remain as “Compass Medical” and our staff will continue to be
the same friendly faces you have always seen. Compass Medical will still participate in the same insurances we do
today, with the potential to add some new insurance products in the near future with our new Steward affiliation. Our
Compass Medical specialty care will still be available at multiple sites, including but not limited to Behavioral Health
Services, Cardiovascular Centers, Radiology & Imaging, walk-in Urgent Care Centers and more.
Through this affiliation we can now offer seamless medical record access into community hospitals and lower our patient’s
cost and travel time for specialty care. Compass Medical works with many local community hospitals and will continue to
do so when affiliated with Steward, the largest fully integrated community care organization and community hospital
network in New England. Despite our new affiliation, your choice of specialty care always has, and will continue to be, a
decision between your primary care provider and yourself. Compass Medical providers maintain good relationships with
many local specialists in our community, ensuring that you receive the best coordinated care possible. Compass will also
continue to send patients to Brigham and Women’s Hospital as well as Mass General Hospital for tertiary care.
