Beth Israel Lahey Health is an integrated health system that coordinates care across hospitals, clinics, and other care settings to keep patients connected wherever they are. Its services come from doctors, nurses, technicians, social workers, and educators who work together, guided by medical research and education. The system operates by linking hospitals, primary and specialty care, and support services so patients receive seamless care with access to resources like research-informed treatment and training for staff.
