It managed hospitals, physicians and other health services in northeastern Massachusetts.[1] When formed in 2012, the organization was estimated at a value of $1.2 billion dollars.[2] As of 2013, it had hospitals in Burlington, Peabody, Beverly, and Gloucester, including Lahey Hospital & Medical Center, Beverly Hospital and Addison Gilbert Hospital.[3][4][5]

History

Lahey Health was established in 1923 by Frank Lahey, MD, with the goal to provide patients with a medical center for all of their health concerns. Lahey Health was started as a group practice and, over the past century, have grown into a physician-led nonprofit practice that offers not only medical services but is also a medical research center.[6][7]

In 1980 the clinic moved from its founding location in Boston to its current location in Burlington, becoming the Lahey Clinic Medical Center.[6]

In 2007, The Lahey Clinic Medical Center's North Shore Facility opened the Sophia Gordon Cancer Center for advanced cancer treatments. [6]

In 2012, The Lahey Clinic Medical Center changed its name to The Lahey Hospital and Medical Center.[6]

In 2013, The Lahey Hospital and Medical Center entered merger talks with Beth Israel Deaconess.[8] Negotiations spanned multiple years, failing to reach an agreement,[9] up until 2017, when a final merge agreement was signed between the two health systems.[10]

In 2019, The Lahey Hospital and Medical Center merged with Beth Israel Deaconess to establish Beth Israel Lahey Health.[11]
