The Lahey Hospital & Medical Center is to provide medical services to patients of the Bermuda Medical Specialties Group [BMSG], following an agreement between the two medical practices.
The agreement calls for Lahey Hospital & Medical Center physicians to visit Bermuda Medical Specialties Group regularly in support of specialist physician services at their facilities on Reid St, Hamilton.
