      <title>The History of BIDMC</title>
      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/AboutBIDMC/TheHistoryofBIDMC.aspx</link>
      <description>Decades before Beth Israel and Deaconess hospitals came together as Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, each was a leader in health care with a long history of personalized patient care and community service. In 1896, as part of their missionary charter, Methodist deaconesses founded Deaconess Hospital to care for the city's residents. In 1916, Beth Israel Hospital was established by the Boston Jewish community to meet the needs of the growing immigrant population.

      <title>How it All Began</title>
      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/AboutBIDMC/TheHistoryofBIDMC/HowitAllBegan.aspx</link>
      <description>On February 5, 1896, in a converted five-story brownstone at 691 Massachusetts Avenue, New England Deaconess Hospital opened its doors. The 14-bed infirmary was an outgrowth of the Methodist Deaconess movement – religious women dedicating themselves to the care of the sick and the poor – which had its origins in early nineteenth century Germany.  </description>

      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/AboutBIDMC/TheHistoryofBIDMC/EarlyGrowth.aspx</link>
      <description>Both hospitals outgrew their quarters in their first decade, so the Deaconess Hospital selected the Longwood site for their new building. In 1907, the new three-story, 50-bed New England Deaconess Hospital opened with a focus on providing surgical care. It was also known for its strength in its nursing care and nursing training program.</description>

      <title>Deaconess Hospital</title>
      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/AboutBIDMC/TheHistoryofBIDMC/DeaconessHospital.aspx</link>
      <description>The Deaconess established a permanent medical and surgical staff in 1922. The staff comprised of two surgeons; two physicians; assistant physicians and surgeons; consultants in specialty services such as neurology, radiology and ophthalmology; and 43 associate members. Principal surgeon Dr. Frank H. Lahey, who would later establish the Lahey Clinic, and principal physician Dr. Elliot P. Joslin, who would become a world leader in diabetes care, were among several physicians over time to establish specialty outpatient clinics. Because these clinics referred their patients primarily to the Deaconess for inpatient care, over time the Deaconess evolved as a specialty, rather than general hospital.</description>

      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/AboutBIDMC/TheHistoryofBIDMC/Merger.aspx</link>
      <description>Throughout the last quarter of a century, both hospitals have made much advancement in patient care, medical education and research. Beth Israel was the first hospital to publish a patient’s bill of rights and to develop a hospital-based ambulatory care program. It first developed an intranasal insulin spray for the treatment of diabetes and provided the first evidence that abnormalities in the visual system of the brain could help explain the problems of people with dyslexia. Cardiologists at Beth Israel developed the cardiac pacemaker and were among the first to conduct studies on the effectiveness of balloon angioplasty and other methods such as stent insertion to relieve obstructions of the coronary arteries.</description>

      <description>In addition to taking such excellent care of the fans, BIDMC and the Red Sox work together to sponsor community programs such as the 9/11 Blood Drive with the American Red Cross and the Red Sox Scholars program. The Scholars program, launched in 2003 and funded by the Red Sox Foundation, rewards 25 academically talented, but economically disadvantaged Boston Public School fifth graders with $10,000 college scholarships. BIDMC has been the proud “presenting sponsor” of the program with staff serving as Medical Champions. Scholars tour the medical center to learn about health care and science careers. Each student is paired with a BIDMC employee, who encourages the students in their academic and social development. In addition, BIDMC and the Red Sox work with other organizations to promote important health care issues such as organ donation and skin cancer awareness.</description>

      <description>Take a walk around during the evening and night shifts and what you’ll see, hear and find is the same dedication to patient care as their daytime counterparts. But there is a difference. It’s like Donna Colpitts, Lead Respiratory Therapist, told us when we met her late one night, “It’s a different kind of chaos at night,” she says. “Some people don’t like the stress of working days because sometimes there are so many staff that it is hard to spend time with the patient. At night there is more autonomy, fewer of us running the show.”</description>
