Download coordinates as: This is a list of current and former hospitals in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, U.S. By default, the list is sorted alphabetically by name.
This table also provides the hospital network of each hospital (if applicable), the city and county where it is located, whether or not it has an emergency department, when it was opened and closed, its current status, type, and former names.
Note: Closures and opening dates, in the case where a hospital is acquired or merges with another, will be designated depending on how substantial the change is.
For example, single hospitals purchased by a new entity will generally not be considered to have closed (such as Kindred Hospital Park View, originally Springfield Municipal Hospital, is considered for this list to have been open consistently since 1931), however simultaneous mergers of multiple hospitals may be considered as a closure of the old hospitals and opening of a new facility (such as Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, considered for this list to have "opened" when its predecessors, Beth Israel Hospital and New England Deaconess Hospital, "closed" and merged in 1996).
Additionally, a facility which is still in business is considered "closed" if a change in operation leads to the facility no longer meeting an arguable definition of "hospital" (example: Burbank Hospital "closed" when inpatient care ended, although the location still exists as an outpatient campus of another hospital).
