7. I should be surprised, Cha

However I am not. Boston has our back.

They didn't need to do this, yet they did!

Many are at Spaulding now, a rehab center. This is there new Hospital as of April 27th

“Spaulding is a beacon of hope and healing for people around the state and the world,” said Governor Deval Patrick. “I congratulate them on opening this extraordinary rehabilitative care and state-of-the-art research facility.”

The leaders at Spaulding approached the project with the same critical eye towards improvement that its clinicians use with their patients. It was not enough to build a new hospital. The goal was to build a new type of rehabilitative hospital and in the process provide an example of how to create a patient-centered environment for people of all abilities while also using the best practices in “green design”.

“For far too long, rehabilitative care was an afterthought to many, relegated to the basements of hospitals and out of site. This hospital makes a bold statement that a new era of rehabilitative medicine is here by bringing together scientific innovation and patient-centered design that puts this institution on par with the major centers of healing in the world,” said David Storto, President, Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. “It’s truly an honor to lead Spaulding and serve this region with its leaders who have the forethought to understand how vital Spaulding will be for decades to come.”

Annually, Spaulding serves more than 2,500 inpatients and almost 30,000 outpatients per year. One of those 2,500 inpatients, Mayor Thomas M. Menino, was a strong supporter in enabling the hospital to be built and understanding the difference the patient-centered experience will be in this new setting.
“Well before I was a patient at Spaulding, I cherished this resource for Boston and our region,” said Mayor Menino. “To be able to personally experience the dedication and clinical excellence of the staff as a patient, I’m even more proud to see this world class facility here today. It serves as symbol for the revitalization of the Navy Yard and marks its continued emergence as a life science district for our city.”
