Determination of Need Funding Program

UMass Memorial Medical Center works with and reports to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH). The Determination of Need/Community Health Initiative (DoN/CHI) law and regulation governs Health Care Facilities as that term is defined in M.G.L. c 111, § 25B. Under Massachusetts law M.G.L. c. 111, §§ 25C and 51, proposals for a Substantial Capital Expenditure, Substantial Change in Services and Original Licensure as well as many Transfers of Ownership and Changes in Site for Health Care Facilities must be reviewed and approved under the DoN Regulatory scheme.
