Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) is an international leader in virtually every area of medicine and has been the site of pioneering breakthroughs that have improved lives around the world. A major teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, BWH has a legacy of excellence that continues to grow. With two outstanding hospitals, over 150 outpatient practices, and over 1,200 physicians, we serve patients from New England, throughout the United States, and from 120 countries around the world. The BWH name is a reflection of our history. In 1980 three of Boston’s oldest and most prestigious Harvard Medical School teaching hospitals - the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, the Robert Breck Brigham Hospital, and the Boston Hospital for Women – merged to form Brigham and Women’s Hospital. As a national leader in improving health care quality and safety, we have helped to develop some of the industry’s best practices including computerized physician order entry (CPOE) to prevent medication errors. The CPOE is now a nationally-accepted safety practice. The BWH Biomedical Research Institute (BRI) is one of the most powerful biomedical research institutes in the world and the second largest recipient of National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding among independent hospitals in the United States. BWH has long had great success in research as measured by the number of important discoveries made, the size and scope of its research portfolio and the volume of publications annually. BWH is a training ground for physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals. We have 1,100 trainees in over 140 of the most sought after training programs in the world, and also host Harvard Medical School students in rotations throughout our programs. As our global health services expand, our clinical trainees have rich opportunities to contribute and learn in challenging environments around the world.

Researchers at Mass General Brigham and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are developing a new, non-surgical contraceptive. This new approach features a long-acting contraceptive implant that can be delivered through tiny needles to minimize patient discomfort and increase the likelihood of medication use. “We anticipate that this could be a new addition to the current suite of family planning options available to women, especially for people in low-resource settings where options for contraception and health care facilities are limited,” said senior author Giovanni Traverso, MD, PhD, MBBCH, of the Division of Gastroenterology in the Department of Medicine at the Brigham.

This beautiful mural, created by Joan Aylward of ChalkBOS (pictured above), is now on display in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the Brigham. The mural offers a versatile photo opportunity for families celebrating milestones and visitors can add messages to the chalkboard area. “It’s such a special place filled with special caregivers and special little fighters,” said Aylward. “The hummingbird is known for being small in size, but also for its fighting spirit and resilience. It’s a perfect NICU mascot.”

Endometriosis is often referred to as the “missed disease” because it can take years to diagnose and people experience a variety of symptoms. This #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth, Louise Perkins King, MD, JD, a gynecologic surgeon in the Division of Minimally Invasive Gynecology Surgery at the Brigham, shares her insights on the disease. "Endometriosis is a complex diagnosis,” says Dr. King, “The ideal way to approach it is multidisciplinary care and an individualized approach. Patients with very refractory (difficult to treat) disease do best if they can access care from a team that includes multiple specialists. This might include pelvic floor therapists, endocrinologists, and surgeons, among others. Other patients respond well to good surgery and use of birth control pills. It’s about treating each patient as an individual and learning what they do and don’t need.” Learn more:
