"How a Norwood Hospital Takeover Could Restore Emergency Care Access for Dover" was the headline atop Monday's Patch AM digest, which reported that a takeover deal for the shuttered Norwood facility could bring emergency-room options closer to home for Dover residents. Per Dover-Sherborn Patch, the digest offered no timeline for when or whether the takeover would be finalized (read it at https://patch.com/massachusetts/dover).
"3 MA Bars Are Best In U.S. + Popular Chain Moving HQ To MA: Food Week" ran under Patch staff writer Jessie Castellano's byline, noting three Massachusetts bars picked up national best-in-U.S. honors and a well-known chain is relocating its headquarters to the state. Per Patch, the same roundup noted a new market has opened inside a historic bank building elsewhere in Massachusetts (read it at https://patch.com/massachusetts/dover/s/kkwtz/3-ma-bars-are-best-in-u-s-popular-chain-moving-hq-to-ma-food-week).
