When Trevor Bayliss, MD, was an undergraduate at Williams College and a member of the school's hockey team, he was diagnosed with cancer, a frightening diagnosis for anyone. Despite treatments, his symptoms only got worse, until he was readying himself to accept the inevitable terminal stage. But remarkably a physician steered him to a very common cancer medication that put his illness in remission. His journey made him realize that his career path was going to be in oncology, where he could help people facing similar circumstances and hopefully lead them to their own survivorship.

Dr. Bayliss is now the Medical Director of the Phelps Cancer Center at the Hillcrest Campus of BMC.

"Cancer can be one of the most physically and emotionally challenging realities anyone can face, and patients who have been diagnosed with cancer and their loved ones want and deserve the best care possible," said Dr. Bayliss. "The Phelps Cancer Center is the region's most advanced and comprehensive cancer program in a location that promotes healing and well-being right here in the Berkshires. Our patients will never face their cancer diagnosis alone. Every patient is supported by an entire team of highly skilled, compassionate providers who are trained specifically in cancer care, from physicians and nurses to social workers and therapists. Additionally, all patients are assigned an oncology nurse navigator who will guide them through every step of their cancer journey. Our goal is to eliminate confusion and reduce as much of the anxiety that comes with a cancer diagnosis as possible, so that our patients can focus on getting better."

"At the Phelps Cancer Center, we focus on the 'whole person,' meaning we rely on the latest scientific and technological innovations in cancer diagnosis and care as well as a full range of wellness therapies to achieve the best possible outcomes for our patients," said Dr. Bayliss. "Because different types of cancer behave and respond in different ways to a variety of treatments, we design treatment plans specifically customized to each unique patient."

A Berkshire native, born and raised in Williamstown, Dr. Bayliss returned to the area after fellowship training in Hematology Oncology at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire, where he also completed his residency training in Internal Medicine. He is board certified in Medical Oncology Hematology and Internal Medicine and has a medical degree from Albany Medical College.

Mill Town Closes on Site 9, Woodlawn Ave. Property

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The first purchase of land at Site 9 in the William Stanley Business Park has gone through.

Mill Town Capital has closed on 4.7 acres on the overhauled GE site once described as looking like the face of the moon, as well as some land across the street for a residential building. The purchase price is $200,000.

"This is an exciting moment because Mill Town was at the table at the very, very beginning of the grant process for the cracking and crushing and greening of Site 9. They've stood by us every step of the way," board Chair Jonathan Denmark said to the Pittsfield Economic Development Authority last week.

"It's also a monumental occasion, because after 25-something years, this is the first land sale from the William Stanley Business Park, and we're all excited."

Mill Town in 2024 announced its intent to purchase acreage on Site 9 and land across the street at 100 Woodlawn Ave.

The 16-acre parcel at the corner of Woodlawn Avenue and Tyler Street Extension previously housed a General Electric factory and is the largest and most prominent section of the business park. Now, it is greened over with a loop of paved access road.

There was some reference to recent hesitancy about the estimate of high construction costs, but the investment firm reportedly chose to proceed because of its faith in this location.

Pittsfield's Business Development Manager Michael Coakley said Mill Town will need to make the numbers work and then find a tenant before breaking ground, and that it won't be right away. The closing had on the site had been the day prior.
