About Massachusetts General Hospital
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), established in 1811, is the original and largest teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. It was founded to provide care to the general public, a novel concept at a time when only two other general hospitals existed in the United States. The hospital's creation was driven by the vision of Rev. John Bartlett, Dr. James Jackson, and Dr. John Collins Warren, who sought to make state-of-the-art medical care accessible to all while advancing medical education. The original hospital building, the Bulfinch, opened in 1821 and MGH quickly became the primary teaching hospital for Harvard Medical School. Throughout its long and distinguished history, Mass General has been at the forefront of medical innovation. In 1846, the first public demonstration of surgical anesthesia was performed at MGH, a landmark event that revolutionized surgery. Other notable achievements include the identification of appendicitis in 1886, the establishment of the first medical social service in 1905, and the first successful replantation of a severed limb in 1962.
Today, Mass General is a global leader in patient care, research, and education. The hospital's commitment to excellence is reflected in its consistent ranking as one of the top hospitals in the United States by U.S. News & World Report. The Center for Regenerative Medicine at Mass General is a world-renowned center of excellence, dedicated to understanding how tissues are formed and can be repaired. The center's faculty are leaders in the field of stem cell biology and are committed to translating their research into new therapies for a wide range of diseases and conditions.
