New England Baptist Hospital was established in 1893 by American Baptist Churches USA, a Baptist Christian denomination with a long history in New England.
When the hospital was created in 1893, Parker Hill was a streetcar suburb considered far enough away from downtown Boston to provide fresh air and an escape from the noise and congestion of the city for patients who might benefit from long term rest and relaxation. Parker Hill offers panoramic views of the city, Boston Harbor, and the Blue Hills. Even today, it is a remarkably peaceful site considering its location near the center of one of the largest metropolitan areas in North America. In April 2017, New England Baptist Hospital agreed to join with Lahey Health and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.[3][4]
Through the associated New England Baptist Bone & Joint Institute, the hospital offers a full range of services in orthopedics and rheumatology, occupational medicine and sports medicine, foot and ankle care, joint replacement, spine care, and hand surgery. The institute offers such services as preventive, educational, diagnostic, treatment, and rehabilitation services.
NEBH has a long association with sports medicine and has provided services to U.S. Olympic teams and multiple professional athletes.
Boston Red Sox legend Ted Williams came to the Baptist for treatment of a cervical disk disorder in the 1950s. In 1999, esteemed PGA Tour player Jack Nicklaus came to the Baptist for a new hip.
NEBH is the official hospital of the eighteen-time world champion Boston Celtics and has a long association with the Boston Athletic Association which hosts the Boston Marathon.
