More on Brigham and Women's Hospital
Description from Wikipedia:
Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) is the largest hospital of Longwood Medical and Academic Area, in the Boston, Massachusetts neighborhood of Mission Hill and second largest teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School (after Massachusetts General Hospital), directly adjacent to Harvard Medical School. With Massachusetts General Hospital, it is one of the two founding members of Partners HealthCare, the largest healthcare provider in Massachusetts. It has 720 total patient beds.
Brigham and Women's is also a member of the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center and is part of the consortium of hospitals which operates Boston MedFlight. In July 2008, the separate Carl J. and Ruth Shapiro Cardiovascular Center which is connected to Brigham and Women's main building with a bridge, opened.
Brigham and Women's is a highly academic hospital and represents the 1980 merger of three Harvard-affiliated Boston hospitals: the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital (est. 1913), the Robert Breck Brigham Hospital (est. 1914), and the Boston Hospital for Women. The latter was established in 1966 as a merger of the Boston Lying-In Hospital (est. 1832), one of America’s first maternity hospitals, and the Free Hospital for Women (est. 1875).
As of 2007, the U.S. News and World Report rankings place BWH overall as the 10th-best hospital in the United States. For the following specialties BWH received rankings in the top 10 by the U.S. News and World Report:
*Kidney Disease (1);
*Gynecology (2);
*Heart (3);
*Rheumatology (6);
*Endocrinology (9);
*Digestive Disorders (10);
