Radiation oncology services and emergency medicine services are provided by Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians at BIDMC. Surgical residents from Beth Israel Deaconess perform rotations at Saint Vincent.
Non-clinical
Boston Red Sox - In 2003, BIDMC was selected as the official hospital of the Boston Red Sox. Not only are Fenway Park and the medical center neighbors, but BIDMC is also proud to provide first-aid care at every home game at Fenway. We also work with the home team and the Red Sox Foundation on a variety of health center and community programs.
Together, we support and mentor the “Red Sox Scholars,” a group of 25 middle school students chosen each year to receive a $10,000 college scholarship and visit BIDMC to learn about careers in medicine and research. It’s just one of the many ways the Boston Red Sox and BIDMC are honoring our commitment to the communities and families we both serve.
