Beverly Hospital is a non-profit inpatient hospital located in Beverly, Massachusetts, founded in 1888 by Dr. Samuel W. Torrey, and is managed by Beth Israel Lahey Health, and Northeast Hospital Corporation providing inpatient acute, surgical, maternal, fetal, and behavioral health care, and labor and delivery services as well as maternal fetal medicine services through Tufts Medical Center & inpatient and emergency pediatrics through Boston Children's Hospital
History
[edit]Beverly Hospital was founded in 1888, in Beverly Massachusetts, by Dr. Samuel W. Torrey, a women's health physician who specialized in Gynecology, as a private hospital located on Central and Cabot streets, with 6 beds.
In 1890, the hospital moved to a three-story house at 14 Central Street, in the former Old Ladies' Home Society building, with 10 beds, later being expanded to house 16 beds
In 1906, the hospital acquired a 10.5-acre property at the corner of Herrick & Heather streets, beginning construction on a new 50 bed facility on Herrick Street, finishing construction, and opening in 1908
Construction of the east pavilion
[edit]In 1941, construction was completed on the east pavilion (now the Torrey building) increasing the hospital's capacity to 202, adding new kitchens, an obstetrical floor, auditorium, radiology, and filing offices.
Reconstruction of 2007
[edit]In 2007, the hospital completed its master reconstruction plan. This included completely rebuilding the Alt building (opened in 1970), expanding the emergency department, building a brand-new main lobby, upgraded inpatient floors, expanded surgical and operating suites, expanded ICU space, as well as a rebuilt Labor and Delivery unit, maternity unit, and a Special Care Nursery. In its present day, the hospital now has 373 beds
Merger with Lahey Clinic
[edit]In 2013, Northeast Health Systems, and Lahey Clinic merged under the name of Lahey Health Systems. This included Beverly Hospital, Addison Gilbert Hospital, Bayridge Hospital, Lahey Clinic (now Lahey Hospital & Medical Center), Lahey Medical Center North (Peabody MA), as well as the affiliated outpatient centers, and physician practices that fell under the Northeast and Lahey name.
Beth Israel Merger
[edit]In January 2017, The Boston Globe reported of a letter of intent for a merger between Lahey and Beth Israel Deaconess with this partnership creating the largest hospital merger in Massachusetts in more than 20 years. The merger would include three additional hospitals: New England Baptist, Mount Auburn Hospital and Anna Jacques Hospital. The combined system was Massachusetts largest network of hospitals and doctors with a market share of 22% in the eastern part of the state. This was in competition with the then-named Partners Healthcare, which was the largest healthcare network in New England up to that time (Partners Healthcare later changed their name to Mass General Brigham
In March 2019, Beth Israel Lahey Health was formed by the merger of Lahey Health and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Beth Israel Lahey Health is composed of Addison Gilbert Hospital, Anna Jaques Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital—Milton, Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital—Needham, Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital—Plymouth, Beverly Hospital, Lahey Hospital & Medical Center, Lahey Medical Center-Peabody, Mount Auburn Hospital, New England Baptist Hospital, and Winchester Hospital.
