Partners HealthCare will lead clinical care efforts at the field medical station. The makeshift facility will be called “Boston HOPE.”
Another field hospital at the DCU Center in Worcester started taking virus patients.
The Boston field medical station will have 500 beds reserved for individuals infected with coronavirus and 500 will provide shelter for the homeless population.
