"[1] Four years later, the Cambridge City Hospital building was designed by Edward Thomas Patrick Graham.

[1] Early records indicate that the hospital was deeply involved with medical philanthropy; in 1921 it had a nearly three to one cost to revenue ratio.

[6] The film raised significant awareness about the costs of medical care and spotlighted the hospital in a new national light amidst the developing Civil Rights Movement and Great Society era of United States politics.

[7] Two years later the hospital opened a new building, symbolizing its newfound culture of academia and increased prestige.

[7] Following its affiliation with Harvard, the Cambridge Hospital began to take on an increasingly activist role within the public health sphere as well.

[17] In September 2022, Cambridge Health Alliance announced it planned to reopen the birth center, following a Cambridge City policy order giving official city support to CHA in favor of reopening the birth center.

Nevertheless, as of December 2023, CBC remains closed for births, though it still offers gynecology, maternity, and women’s health care visits.

[21] CHA employs approximately 4,500 staff members in Cambridge, Everett, Malden, Medford, Revere, and Somerville, Massachusetts.

As of 2013, more than 40% of CHA staff (1,600+) live within the area of Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Malden, Medford, Revere, Somerville, and Winthrop.

With health centers and hospitals in Cambridge, Somerville, Everett, Malden, and Revere, CHA serves populations in these areas, as well as Boston, Winthrop, Chelsea, Medford, Arlington, Belmont, Watertown, and Brookline.

[22] A decade later, the system had 277 inpatient beds in service, a child and adolescent inpatient psychiatric services at Somerville Campuses, and had expanded to twelve primary care centers and four teen health centers, showing the continued growth of its community health oriented model.
