History

Lahey Health was established in 1923 by Frank Lahey, MD, with a mission to provide patients with a medical center for all of their health concerns. Lahey Health was started as a group practice and, over the past century, have grown into a physician-led nonprofit practice that offers not only medical services but is also a medical research center.

In 1980 the clinic moved from its founding location in Boston to its current location in Burlington, becoming the Lahey Clinic Medical Center.

In 2007, The Lahey Clinic Medical Center's North Shore Facility opened the Sophia Gordon Cancer Center for advanced cancer treatments.

In 2012, The Lahey Clinic Medical Center changed its name to The Lahey Hospital and Medical Center.

In 2018, The Lahey Hospital and Medical Center merged with Beth Israel Deaconess to establish Beth Israel Lahey Health.
