About us

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. Brigham and Women's Hospital is an EEO, AA, VEVRAA Employer.

Congratulations to Pivel Morton on being a 2024 Latino Excellence Awards recipient! Pivel currently serves as the Executive Director of Southern Jamaica Plain Community Health Center (SJPCHC- Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) License Community Health Center) in Jamaica Plain, MA. Along with other members of the SJP leadership team, Pivel’s work focuses on the center’s mission of racial and social justice, dismantling structural racism through health equity analysis and advocacy, policy work and addressing inequity in the social drivers of health.

On the award, she said, “It's an absolute honor to have been nominated by state Rep Samantha Montaño as one of the Massachusetts Black and Latino Legislative Caucus’ 2024 Latino Excellence Awardees! The State House’s Great Hall was energized and electric as we gathered to celebrate Latino changemakers and disruptors throughout the Commonwealth! Felicidades a todos, gracias por el reconocimiento y síguemos en la lucha resiliente y unidos! Proud to represent Latinos and Southern Jamaica Plain Community Health Center.”
Social media ads for wellness products tend to play on fears of missing out, of inadequacy, of being inferior, says Natalie Dattilo, PhD, a clinical psychologist at the Brigham. “These social media trends don’t just affect our financial health,” Dattilo adds. “They keep us searching for something outside ourselves to fix our problems. We feel pressure to lean on untested products and methods of health and wellness when what you really need to do is partner with your doctor.” Health misinformation has always existed. But today, we live in an “infodemic”—an overabundance of information that obscures evidence-based guidance, especially on social media. Dattilo and other Brigham experts are tracking how health misinformation circulates online and how to protect yourself and combat its spread.
