Since its inception in 1994, Partners HealthCare has continued
and expanded the long tradition of community commitment that
is at the heart of each of its institutions. Focusing on their
specific communities and populations, each hospital’s
commitments are consistent with the system’s community
benefit mission, adopted by the Partners Board of Trustees
in January 1995:
Partners is committed to working with community residents
and organizations to make measurable, sustainable improvements
in the health status of underserved populations.
Partners not only has a commitment to long term organizational
and financial investment in programs, but also to a deep engagement
with communities to listen, learn, and continuously improve
our work together.

physician speakers, medical simulations, celebrity guests
and much more. More than 70,000 people attended this free,
two-day event.
