Based in eastern Massachusetts, Beth Israel Lahey Health (BILH) is an integrated health system that brings together academic medical centers and teaching hospitals, community and specialty hospitals, more than 4,800 physicians and 36,000 employees in a shared mission to expand access to great care and advance the science and practice of medicine through groundbreaking research and education.
BILH was formed in 2019 through the merger of five renowned health systems and hospitals, including Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Lahey Hospital & Medical Center (formerly known as Lahey Clinic) and New England Baptist Hospital. As a unified system, BILH is committed to making a difference in the lives of patients and their families, in the communities it serves and for the talented caregivers and staff who make that possible. Foundational to that mission is expanding access to exceptional care by strengthening community-based resources through investment in the local clinicians, hospitals and health services and by supporting vulnerable and underserved populations to reduce health disparities. BILH is dedicated to deepening long-standing community relationships and the continued reinforcement of their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion through transparent performance reporting, cultural competence training, and a strong stance against biases. As an academic health system, BILH is focused on advancing the science and practice of medicine through ground-breaking research and by educating future generations of physicians who are deeply committed to caring for their patients.
The BILH Senior Leadership Team includes individuals who have shaped the proud legacies of the member organizations, as well as leaders from other prestigious organizations who share a united vision of creating a different kind of health care system. With true partnership between local and system leaders, and the enthusiasm and talent of both employees and providers, the Senior Leadership Team is empowered to achieve great things together.
