Mount Auburn Hospital (MAH) is a community hospital with a patient capacity of about 200 beds in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[1] [2] Its main campus is located at 330 Mount Auburn St, in the neighborhood of West Cambridge. It has become an affiliated teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School.[3] [4]

History

19th century

Mt. Auburn Hospital was founded by Civil War era nurse and administrator Emily Elizabeth Parsons as the first hospital in Cambridge in 1866.[5] It closed in 1872, but reopened in 1886.[6]

20th century

Until 1947, it was known as Cambridge Hospital.[7] [8]

In 1993 an announced merger between MGH and Brigham caused MAH to evaluate a strategic alliance of its own.[9] In 1996 MAH agreed to a merger with Beth Israel Deaconess and Lahey,[10] [11] and forming CareGroup, Inc. as its parent non-profit holding company for Mount Auburn Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital-Milton, Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital-Needham, and New England Baptist Hospital.[12] [13] [14]

21st century

2002 saw Mount Auburn's provision to introduce a more automated physician order entry (POE) system throughout the hospital, starting with the labor and delivery ward.[15] In November 2008, the hospital opened the $80 million six-floor, 274,000 s/f Frank Stanton Building expansion project at its main 330 Mount Auburn Campus.[16] [17] [18] [19]

In 2012 Mount Auburn Hospital's cardiac surgery received a top 100 rating from HealthGrades.[20] In the same year a smaller satellite facility affiliated with the hospital was established in Waltham.[21]

In late 2014, Mount Auburn signed a $110 million contract with Epic Systems to implement a new electronic health record platform, called MyChart, for patients.[22] [23]

In 2017 Mount Auburn Hospital announced that it would form a part of NewCO (d/b/a Beth Israel Lahey Health), when it underwent a 5-way hospital merger along with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Lahey Health Medial Center, New England Baptist Hospital, and Anna Jaques Hospital.[24] [25] It was completed March 1, 2019.

Overview

MAH is an affiliate of Harvard University Health Services (HUHS).[26]

The hospital is ranked by U.S. News & World Report.[27] According to the publication, MAH is "high-performing" when it comes to treating heart attack, heart failure, diabetes, stroke, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

In 2018 it was ranked as the 22nd largest hospital in facility in Massachusetts.[28] It employs roughly 1,500 people (2022),[29] [30] has an estimated 600 affiliated doctors and admits more than 10,300 patients annually,[31] up from 28,000 (2015).[32]
