CHA Primary Care, which is based at the hospital, is a main teaching location for the CHA Internal Medicine Residency Program.
Historyedit
The hospital was first incorporated in 1891, and the first buildings were erected the following year. In 2009, the inpatient hospital beds were closed, but the emergency department remained open as a satellite emergency facility. In April 2020, the emergency department was converted to an Urgent Care Center.
In 2016, a Somerville woman named Laura Levis collapsed outside Somerville Hospital while unable to find an unlocked door to the emergency room during a severe asthma attack.[1] Her death led to the passage of a Massachusetts law, nicknamed "Laura's Law," to ensure clear and safe access to hospital emergency departments for pedestrians.[2]
