Posted by Elizabeth Cooney November 2, 2009 10:02 AM

Brigham and Women's Hospital has begun a clinical collaboration with Memorial Hospital of Rhode Island in Pawtucket.

Under an agreement announced last week, the affiliation will focus on cardiology and emergency medicine. Heart specialists from the Brigham will consult with Memorial Hospital physicians on patient care, including transfers to Boston, and assist in the development of a cardiac catheterization lab at Memorial.

Brigham doctors are also helping Memorial recruit a new chief of emergency medicine.

Memorial is a 294-bed teaching hospital affiliated with The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University.
