List of hospitals in Massachusetts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of current and former hospitals in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, U.S. By default, the list is sorted alphabetically by name. This table also provides the hospital network of each hospital (if applicable), the city and county where it is located, whether or not it has an emergency department, when it was opened and closed, its current status, type, and former names.

  • Name: The most recent name of the hospital. Former names will be listed in the last column.
  • City, Town, or Neighborhood: The lowest level census designation of the hospital's most recent location.
  • Network: The parent organization or government agency in charge of the hospital. For closed hospitals, the network will retain its name at the time of closure and will not be updated if the network changes its name (such as Union Hospital, listed as a Partners Healthcare hospital even though the network changed its name to Mass General Brigham after the hospital closed). Text will be italicized if the hospital is independent or if it is owned or operated by a public entity.
  • Emergency Department: Indicates the presence of an emergency department, along with trauma designation if applicable. "Former" if the hospital used to have one.
  • EMS Region: As defined by the Massachusetts Office of Emergency Medical Services. Will be filled even for facilities which predate region designations.
  • Opened-Closed: The years of operation.
    • Opened, when possible, specifically refers to the date on which the facility admitted its first patient.
  • Status / Type / Notes:
    • Status is in italics and is generally in reference to a hospital's inpatient operations: Active, Succeeded, or Closed. Marked "Fate Unknown" if the hospital is no longer in operation but it cannot be determined if it was closed or acquired.
    • Hospital type, when available, comes after Status. When applicable, the type will always reference data from the Massachusetts Center for Health Information and Analysis. As CHIA was formed in 2012, any hospitals which either closed before data was collected or which do not fall under its purview (such as federal facilities) will be given the most appropriate typing.
    • Notes will encompass all other appropriate information, including former names.

Note: Closures and opening dates, in the case where a hospital is acquired or merges with another, will be designated depending on how substantial the change is. For example, single hospitals purchased by a new entity will generally not be considered to have closed (such as Kindred Hospital Park View, originally Springfield Municipal Hospital, is considered for this list to have been open consistently since 1931), however simultaneous mergers of multiple hospitals may be considered as a closure of the old hospitals and opening of a new facility (such as Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, considered for this list to have "opened" when its predecessors, Beth Israel Hospital and New England Deaconess Hospital, "closed" and merged in 1996). Additionally, a facility which is still in business is considered "closed" if a change in operation leads to the facility no longer meeting an arguable definition of "hospital" (example: Burbank Hospital "closed" when inpatient care ended, although the location still exists as an outpatient campus of another hospital).
