More About BIDMC

Clinical Services

Sometimes it's a joyous event — like the birth of a baby. Sometimes it’s an annual checkup. Other times, it might be an illness that needs long and complex treatment. No matter what your needs, we are committed to providing extraordinary and compassionate care.

When a patient has a complex condition, our physicians, surgeons, nurses, social workers, nutritionists and other experts from appropriate departments come together to provide the best possible care. Each member of our care team brings different and complementary knowledge and skills to treat the patient.

World-Class Care in the Community

BIDMC believes patients should receive the right care, at the right time, in the right place. We have a growing presence in Eastern Massachusetts with many hospital and clinical affiliations. Our world-renowned experts provide care wherever our patients call home — from Newburyport to Plymouth, Lexington to Quincy. 

Research & Education

Patients benefit from BIDMC’s status as an academic medical center. By driving clinical advancements, pioneering research breakthroughs and educating generations of skilled providers in advanced facilities, we provide our patients and communities with access to the safest, most effective treatment options available.
