offered will comply with the standards of care found at our main campus. In addition, all physicians practicing at the
Center will be fully credentialed at BWH and will provide the same excellence of care that makes the BWH nationally
recognized for clinical excellence. The administrative and clinical staff of the Center must demonstrate the same high
