An Update on our Fifth Floor Evaluation

 

Dear Patients and Families:

As you may be aware, Newton-Wellesley Hospital (NWH) recently initiated a comprehensive evaluation of our fifth-floor environment after staff who have worked on that floor reported cases of brain tumors occurring over many years.

This analysis, led by the Mass General Brigham Department of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and conducted by a multi-disciplinary group of experts – including several independent firms – has involved interviews of impacted staff, a thorough review of air and water quality, and comprehensive testing for any potential radiation, chemical, or pharmaceutical exposures. Based on the results of this rigorous ongoing investigation, we can assure you that no environmental risks have been identified at our hospital.

To date, through their employee interview process, OHS has identified six staff members who have worked for varying durations on the fifth floor and report developing benign (non-cancerous) brain tumors. While the OHS investigation is ongoing, we have found no evidence that these medical conditions were caused by the work environment.

As always, your health, wellbeing, and safety – along with that of our employees – remain our top priority. While there has been a great deal of misinformation shared on social media and in other forums, we want to make sure you have the facts.

If you have additional questions or concerns, please contact our NWH Patient and Family Relations team at nwhexperience@partners.org.

Sincerely,

Ellen A. Moloney
President and Chief Operating Officer
Mass General Brigham/Newton-Wellesley Hospital
