Innovative Procedure Gives Bruce
a ‘New Lease on Life’

Retired auto repair shop owner Bruce Balemian could fix any car problem he encountered. But when a serious health issue threatened his mobility and quality of life, Bruce needed someone else in the driver’s seat to get back on the road to wellness.

“My last few years working, I started developing pain in my back and both legs on long walks,” Bruce recounts. “As time went on the pain became unbearable even on short walks; it would come on after just 50 to 75 feet, and I would have to stop and sit for 15 minutes then continue.”

The Miriam Hospital Renovation Project
Set to Begin Spring 2025

This spring, The Miriam will embark on an ambitious and long overdue “remove and replace” construction project that will include the demolition of the hospital’s oldest structure on campus and the building of a brand-new, efficient facility in its place. Once completed, the new building will be home to an expanded emergency department and modernized inpatient units. Through these critical upgrades, The Miriam Hospital aims to provide better care, improve patient outcomes, and meet the growing needs of our community.
