The hospital is a teaching affiliate of both the University of Massachusetts Medical School and Tufts University School of Medicine. It also conducts teaching programs in collaboration with the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Harvard Medical School.

History

[edit]
"The Baptist" was the site of one of the first artificial hip replacements in the United States.

New England Baptist Hospital was established in 1893 by American Baptist Churches USA, a Baptist Christian denomination with a long history in New England.

When the hospital was created in 1893, Parker Hill was a streetcar suburb considered far enough away from downtown Boston to provide fresh air and an escape from the noise and congestion of the city for patients who might benefit from long term rest and relaxation. Parker Hill offers panoramic views of the city, Boston Harbor, and the Blue Hills. Even today, it is a remarkably peaceful site considering its location near the center of one of the largest metropolitan areas in North America. In April 2017, New England Baptist Hospital agreed to join with Lahey Health and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.[3][4]

The institute offers such services as preventive, educational, diagnostic, treatment, and rehabilitation services.

Sports medicine

[edit]

NEBH has a long association with sports medicine and has provided services to U.S. Olympic teams and multiple professional athletes.

Boston Red Sox legend Ted Williams came to the Baptist for treatment of a cervical disk disorder in the 1950s. In 1999, esteemed PGA Tour player Jack Nicklaus came to the Baptist for a new hip.

NEBH is the official hospital of the eighteen-time world champion Boston Celtics and has a long association with the Boston Athletic Association which hosts the Boston Marathon.
