Lahey Health System

What Lahey Health System does

Lahey Health System operates primarily through Lahey Hospital & Medical Center (formerly Lahey Clinic), a physician-led, non-profit academic teaching hospital headquartered at 41 Mall Road, Burlington, Massachusetts. Founded more than 100 years ago, Lahey runs an integrated clinic model delivering routine and complex care across digestive, heart, neurointerventional radiology, neurology and neurosurgery, organ transplant, urology, dermatology, orthopedics, and cancer services, with full hospital campuses in Burlington and Peabody plus outpatient centers in Burlington, Lexington, and an Institute of Urology in Derry, New Hampshire. It is a teaching affiliate of Tufts University School of Medicine, the regional medical campus for UMass Chan Medical School (UMass Chan-Lahey), and is affiliated with the Harvard Combined Dermatology Residency Program.

The technology stack centers on Epic electronic health records extended across Beth Israel Lahey Health via MyBILH Chart (patient portal with interactive CMS-compliant cost calculators for 300 shoppable services), BILH Find Help (community resource search), and BILH Link/EpicCare Link (provider-facing secure portal). Clinical technology includes a state-of-the-art endovascular operating suite, a full-service vascular lab, and the Center for Professional Development and Simulation that delivers TeamSTEPPS-based multidisciplinary training with livestreaming and live-tissue capabilities. Lahey also operates the first Spine Registry in the Boston area, publicly reporting post-surgical outcomes.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: (1) patient care services paid via insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and self-pay, with financial counseling and MassHealth/Health Safety Net assistance; (2) graduate medical education funded through ACGME-accredited residency and fellowship positions, including the country's oldest ANCC-accredited Dermatology Nurse Practitioner Training Program since 2003; and (3) industry training services, where medical device vendors (Applied Medical, Ethicon, Intuitive Surgical, Medtronic, THD America, Pontis Orthopedics) pay Lahey for use of simulation facilities and faculty expertise. Patient acquisition combines direct-to-consumer channels (Find a Doctor, MyBILH Chart, online scheduling, international patient services) with an enterprise-style physician referral network staffed by a Referring Physician Concierge Line and BILH Link. Lahey is part of the Beth Israel Lahey Health system (over 39,000 employees, 4,700+ physicians), with no venture or private equity ownership.
