WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Berkshire Health Systems (BHS) today announced the opening of a third Urgent Care location, with a new facility being developed at 197 Adams Road, Williamstown, inside the Williamstown Medical facility. 
 
Berkshire Health Urgent Care North will open on Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2025, and will be open weekdays from 11:00am to 7:00pm and weekends from 8:00am to noon.
 
"We are thrilled to officially open Berkshire Health Urgent Care North to patients seeking care for minor illnesses and injuries, complimenting the services provided at our highly successful Pittsfield and Lenox locations," said Darlene Rodowicz, BHS President and CEO. "The opening of Berkshire Health Urgent Care North serves as a demonstration of BHS’s commitment to providing accessible care and services for patients across North County and Southern Vermont, keeping care close to home."
 
Berkshire Health Urgent Care North will provide convenient, accessible care for minor illness and injuries, as well as on-site X-ray services and testing for common illnesses. Like its counterparts in Pittsfield and Lenox, the North site will also provide patients with access to BHS’s coordinated system of care, fostering collaboration across each patient’s team of providers.  
 
"Berkshire Health Systems has consistently supported the healthcare needs of North Berkshire, from opening key services after the 2014 closing of North Adams Regional Hospital to reopening our community hospital in 2024 and now expanding access to urgent care," said Jennifer Macksey, Mayor of North Adams. "This is great news for residents across North Berkshire."
 
Berkshire Health Urgent Care North will accept a variety of health insurance plans, including private commercial coverage, Medicare, and MassHealth through the Berkshire Fallon Health Collaborative, all of which are also accepted at the Pittsfield and Lenox Berkshire Health Urgent Care locations.  
 
Berkshire Health Urgent Care in Pittsfield opened in September of 2015, and in Lenox earlier this year, providing care for minor illness and injury to thousands of Berkshire area residents and visitors. 
 
"We have outstanding staff across BHS Urgent Care, local providers which the community has trusted for over 10 years," said Robert Shearer, RN, Administrative Director of Urgent Care. "That community commitment will expand to serve those living in and visiting the North Berkshire area, with a convenient location, dedicated patient parking and access to rapid care for a wide range of injuries and illnesses, plus vaccinations, sports physicals, on-site X-ray and more."

Rumbolt Law Advances in County Cal Ripken Tournament

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – Rumbolt Law Tuesday overcame a 5-2 deficit and pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the sixth to earn an 8-5 win over North Adams Tree and Landscape in the Berkshire County Cal Ripken minors division semi-final.
 
Andre Carasone struck out six in two innings of work on the mound and went 2-for-2 with a pair of doubles and four RBIs as Rumbolt improved to 8-0-2 and earned a berth in the league championship game, tentatively scheduled for Saturday morning.
 
Rumbolt awaits the winner of the other semi-final between North Adams Police Department and Wildcat Sports Group of Lee, whose game was postponed to Wednesday.
 
Rumbolt scored three times in the top of the fourth to tie it and added three more on four hits the next inning to go ahead for good.
 
“We got a lot of contributions from a lot of players,” Rumbolt coach John Carasone said. “Like that last inning, when we went ahead, the first hitter [Kip Reach] hadn’t had a hit all year and hit a line drive to start the inning, and he got knocked in by someone [Theo Bengtson-Belin] who hadn’t had a hit all year. And he had a legit, nice hit.
 
“So it’s just an awesome team victory for us. We’re really excited.”
 
NA Tree jumped on top early when Riley Briggs hit a sacrifice fly to plate Porter Gazaille in the top of the first inning.
