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.

Over the course of a given week, for 15-20 minutes at a time, Mass General Brigham nurses, advanced practitioners and doctors gather in units and clinics for regular high reliability organization (HRO) quality rounds. During these huddles, care team members are empowered to speak up—to identify challenges or problems that might get in the way of their ability to meet our patient care goals. “I think our teams are really excited about participating in this,” said Julia Mason, DNP, MBA, RN, CENP, Chief Nursing Officer at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. “This is about empowering our frontline staff, because everyone is focused on the shared mission of excellent patient care.” Read more:

This month, we’re featuring Mark Fairweather, MD, surgical oncologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Program Director of the Complex General Surgical Oncology Fellowship at Harvard Medical School. Hailing from Kentucky, Dr. Fairweather attended college in Indiana before earning his medical degree at the University of Louisville. As the first in his family to become a physician, he found his calling during a surgical oncology rotation. The experience showed him the power of strong patient-physician relationships and the teamwork that defines cancer care. Watching surgeons guide patients and families through some of life’s most difficult decisions left a lasting impression—and set him on the path to oncology. He now specializes in sarcoma (a rare type of cancer that starts in soft tissue or bone) and complex gastrointestinal cancers, including tumors of the liver, pancreas, and small bowel. For him, surgery is not just about technical skill—it’s about being present for patients at a life-changing moment. “It’s a privilege to be part of such an important time in a patient’s life,” said Dr. Fairweather. “The trust they place in you and the care team is incredibly meaningful.” Dr. Fairweather also leads international research in sarcoma through the Transatlantic Australasian Retroperitoneal Sarcoma Working Group (TARPSWG)—a global consortium of sarcoma experts dedicated to improving outcomes for patients with rare retroperitoneal (the space behind the peritoneum, the lining of the abdominal cavity) tumors. He leads research on studies involving more than 20 institutions worldwide. One recent project—the largest of its kind—explores the role of preoperative radiation for retroperitoneal sarcomas (a rare type of soft tissue cancer that forms in the space behind the abdominal lining) and is already helping to shape treatment guidelines. Outside the OR, Dr. Fairweather is a dedicated triathlete—a passion he picked up five years ago to help him decompress and stay grounded amid the demands of surgery, research, and teaching. He now competes in up to eight races per season and often trains before sunrise, bringing the same focus and discipline to the road that he brings to the operating room.

“The cost of preeclampsia is high, as a leading cause of prematurity, and far-reaching, as patients face lifelong increased rates of cardiovascular disease. Pregnant patients with preeclampsia require specialized care during and after pregnancy to improve pregnancy outcomes and long-term health,” says Louise E. Wilkins-Haug, MD, PhD, a Mass General Brigham obstetrician-gynecologist. Learn about the risk factors, symptoms of preeclampsia, and how to reduce the risk of developing it.

Facing cancer and thinking about your future family? It’s a heartbreaking crossroads that Elizabeth Ginsburg, MD, sees all too often. As a reproductive endocrinologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Dr. Ginsburg meets women every day who are facing the unimaginable: a cancer diagnosis and the very real fear that it may take away their chance to have children. Some are newly married or engaged, just beginning to imagine their future families. Others are single, suddenly needing to make fast, life-altering decisions about their fertility—all while navigating treatment and survival. At the Brigham, home to one of the nation’s top OBGYN departments, you don’t have to face it alone. Our dedicated fertility preservation team specializes in understanding the complexities of cancer and its treatments—and how to safeguard the dream of becoming a parent. In this video, Dr. Ginsburg explains three key options for preserving fertility: egg and embryo freezing, ovarian tissue freezing, and ovarian transposition. Fertility can still be part of your future—and our team at the Center for Infertility and Reproductive Surgery is there to support and guide you every step of the way.
