Boston Dispensary
Organization
Biography
Abstract:
The Boston Dispensary (BD) was founded in 1796 and was New England’s first permanent medical facility. In 1930 the BD joined the New England Medical Center consortium, partnering with the Boston Floating Hospital and the Tufts College School of Medicine. The BD was, over the course of the next thirty years, integrated into the Pratt Clinic/New England Center Hospital (PC/NECH). In 1965, the Tufts-New England Medical Center (T-NEMC) officially merged all of these organizations. T-NEMC was renamed the Tufts Medical Center in 2008, and is located in Boston, Massachusetts. The Boston Dispensary (BD) was founded by Oliver Smith in 1796, and was the third dispensary established in the United States. Officially incorporated on February 26, 1801, the BD was the first of the New England Medical Center consortium organizations to be founded. The consortium itself was formed in 1930 and is now known as the Tufts Medical Center.Found in 152 Collections and/or Records:
