Cambridge Health Alliance Company Information

Profile

CHA formed in 1996 when two Massachusetts hospitals - Cambridge Hospital and Somerville Hospital - joined together as an integrated system. This combined entity was better able to meet the needs of its patients and fulfill a shared community health mission. In 2001, the system acquired Whidden Hospital in Everett, MA and associated healthcare services in Malden and Revere. This expanded the system's geographic range and allowed it to continue helping individuals and families in need. Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA) is an award-winning healthcare system serving Cambridge, Somerville, and Boston's metro-north communities. With three hospital campuses, an extensive primary care network, and an employed physician model, CHA provides high-quality, culturally competent care to a large, diverse patient population. CHA is proud to be a Strategic Partner of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and a Harvard Medical School Teaching Hospital.
