Bellingham & Blackstone Valley Medical Supply Hub – I‑495 Biotech Corridor
Our LAC Health counter inside Walmart #1918 at 250 Hartford Avenue sits between I‑495, I‑90, and RI‑146, supporting Milford Regional Medical Center, UMass Memorial Health Alliance clinics, Dana-Farber Milford, Steward Medical Group, Woonsocket/Landmark Medical Center, Dell/EMC, Amazon BOS7, and the Blackstone Valley EMS network.
Within 15 miles are Milford Regional (Level II trauma), Landmark Medical Center, UMass Memorial Marlborough satellites, Milford Urgent Care, Boston Children’s Milford Specialty Clinic, Woonsocket ambulance services, EMC/Dell corporate campus, Cumberland Farms HQ, and MBTA Forge Park/495 station. Within 30 miles lie UMass Memorial Worcester, Boston hospitals via I‑90, TF Green Airport, and Providence trauma centers. Snowstorms, commuter rail incidents, and I‑495 hazmat events require a local “medical suppliers near me” inventory—this Hartford Avenue counter keeps biotech and healthcare operations running.
Bellingham’s history includes textile canals, WWII munitions, and modern high-tech manufacturing. LAC Health builds on that legacy with generator-backed refrigeration, bilingual (English/Portuguese/Spanish) instructions, and ICS protocols integrated with MEMA Region III and Rhode Island EMA partners.
