CHA provides overnight care for serious needs at Cambridge Hospital and Everett Hospital.
This includes medical-surgical care (Med-Surg), intensive care (ICU), and adult psychiatry services. Child and Adolescent psychiatry is based at the CHA Somerville Hospital Campus.
Your Hospital Team
When you stay overnight at a CHA hospital, you get an expert team of doctors, nurses and other staff to care for you. As a teaching hospital, this may include resident doctors or students from Harvard Medical School or the Tufts University School of Medciine.
Medical/Surgical Care
Our med/surg care teams are led by a hospitalist, an expert in Internal Medicine or Family Medicine. Hospitalists work closely with our nurses and are available 24 hours a day to respond to your health needs. If you are recovering from surgery, your lead doctor in the hospital will be your surgeon.
Your hospital team will also include a care manager (nurse or social worker). Their job is to help you, your caregivers, and your primary care team make sure you have a good “discharge plan”. This means making sure you have support when you leave the hospital.
Critical & Intensive Care (ICU)
Our intensive care units at Cambridge Hospital and Everett Hospital are designed to care for people with severe health needs. We have 18 staffed beds across both sites - offering expert, 24-hour care.
ICU teams include Critical Care physicians (also know as intensivists), nurses, respiratory therapists, nutritionists, pharmacists, and others.
