History
19th century
Mt. Auburn Hospital was founded by Civil War era nurse and administrator Emily Elizabeth Parsons as the first hospital in Cambridge in 1866. It closed in 1872, but reopened in 1886.
20th century
Until 1947, it was known as Cambridge Hospital.
In 1993 an announced merger between MGH and Brigham caused MAH to evaluate a strategic alliance of its own. In 1996 MAH agreed to a merger with Beth Israel and New England Deaconess hospitals, the two of which merged into Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
21st century
2002 saw Mount Auburn's provision to introduce a more automated physician order entry (POE) system throughout the hospital, starting with the labor and delivery ward.
In November 2008, the hospital opened the $80 million six-floor, 274,000 s/f Frank Stanton Building expansion project at its main 330 Mount Auburn Campus.
In 2012 Mount Auburn Hospital's cardiac surgery received a top 100 rating from HealthGrades. In the same year a smaller satellite facility affiliated with the hospital was established in Waltham.
In late 2014, Mount Auburn signed a $110 million contract with Epic Systems to implement a new electronic health record platform, called MyChart, for patients.
In 2017 Mount Auburn Hospital announced that it would join with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Lahey Hospital & Medial Center, New England Baptist Hospital, and Anna Jaques Hospital to form Beth Israel Lahey Health It was completed March 1, 2019.
