Lemuel Shattuck Hospital (commonly shortened as Shattuck Hospital) is a 255-bed [1] public health and teaching hospital located in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. [1] The hospital is owned and operated by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH), and as an affiliate of the Tufts University School of Medicine, serves as the only teaching hospital operated by DPH. [2]
Shattuck Hospital offers inpatient care, including that of inmates through its correctional unit, as well as outpatient and social services. [1]
The hospital was named after Lemuel Shattuck, a local politician, statistician and historian recognized for his part in developing the plan that would lead to the 1869 creation of the nation's first Board of Health in Massachusetts. [3] [4] [5]
Services
Shattuck offers outpatient care, surgical services, outpatient clinics, radiological imaging, and laboratory services. The hospital maintains several governmental and academic relationships, such as with the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health, Massachusetts Department of Correction, and Tufts University School of Medicine. [6] [7]
The hospital plans to relocate its services to the Newton Pavilion in Boston's South End in 2024. [8]
