Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital – Needham (commonly shortened as BID Needham) is a small non-profit community hospital located in Needham, Massachusetts. A member of Beth Israel Lahey Health, in 2024 the hospital had 73 beds, discharged 5,290 inpatients, and operated with total revenues of $158.6 million at a deficit of $1.6 million.[1][2]
History
The facility originally known as Glover Home and Hospital opened on September 16, 1912.[3] It was named after Frederick Pope Glover, who upon his death in 1901 left his estate to the town in order that it fund a hospital.[3] Glover's gift was not accepted by the town until 1910, as there was sentiment that the hospitals of Boston were close enough to meet local needs.[3]
The facility became an affiliate of New England Deaconess Hospital in 1994.[3] In 1996, that entity and Beth Israel Hospital merged to form Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, which itself merged in 2019 with Lahey Hospital & Medical Center to form Beth Israel Lahey Health.
