The change comes as a result of the hospital’s affiliation last year with Lahey Hospital & Medical Center (formerly Lahey Clinic) in Burlington to create Lahey Health, and represents the role the Danvers facility will play as a member of the comprehensive Lahey Health system. Lahey Health brings together award-winning hospitals; nationally recognized physicians and the full range of post-acute services such as physical therapy and skilled-nursing rehabilitation services, as well as behavioral health, senior health management, and at-home services. As a member of Lahey Health, Beverly Hospital and all of its facilities, including the Danvers outpatient facility, are able to provide greater access to the full continuum of care and services patients need to become and stay healthy, in the community setting.
