norwood mass hospital is still closed

https://whdh.com/news/community-rallies-to-call-for-new-operator-at-norwood-hospital-site/

hospital is maybe 50% rebuilt after 2020 flood

note - in general terms - a hospital has operating rooms and MRI -
anything else is not a hospital - although some facilities have a MRI
but no OR - and some facilities do some surgery but probably dont have
a MRI (surgery centers) - also - hospitals have 24/7 emergency rooms
and they have to (at the least) evaluate everyone that comes thru the
door - and there is a doctor in the ER 24/7

this all derives from federal laws and state laws and insurance
regulations and general public expectations

note - there might be 1 or 2 small hospitals in Mass that dont have an
MRI - not sure about that - its not like anyone makes this info
readily available on the Internet - there might be a couple of
hospitals without 24/7 MDs also - like Nantucket or Marthas Vineyard
or Great Barrington or Ware or Athol
