Patients come to Lahey Hospital & Medical Center for healthcare from every part of the world; including Bermuda, Canada, China, Spain, the Middle East, Venezuela, Singapore, the Philippines and India.
Whether you are seeking preventive care through our Executive & Preventive Health program or specialized medical care for a specific health need, you are always welcome at Lahey.
Advanced Care, Personal Attention
At Lahey you will find world-renowned physicians who are experienced with the very latest medical technology and perform state-of-the-art procedures for liver or kidney transplants, brain and spine neurosurgery, heart surgery, cancer care and much more.
You will also find doctors, nurses and others who truly care about each patient. We have developed personal relationships with many of our international travelers. Our goal is to successfully treat your medical need while making your entire experience as comfortable and successful as possible.
Award-Winning Care
Lahey Hospital & Medical Center is fully accredited by The Joint Commission, a leader in setting quality and safety standards for United States hospitals. Among our many awards and achievements:
- Our cancer services have earned commendation from the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons.
- Lahey is rated among the top 50 United States hospitals for cardiovascular (heart) care.
- We also are a renowned leader in liver and kidney transplantation, and we have the number-one live-donor liver transplant program in the United States.
Lahey’s Outreach Around the World
Lahey’s international outreach goes both ways. More than two dozen Lahey physicians travel on behalf of Lahey to countries around the world as part of our International Health program.
Much of the work they do involves seeing patients in special clinics to provide medical care. In fact, you may have already met one of our outstanding doctors if your own doctor referred you to one of our clinics in your home country.
Lahey physicians also perform medical education sessions for doctors in other countries, sharing their knowledge and experience with their counterparts for the benefit of patients around the world.
For example, Lahey doctors have been visiting Bermuda since the late 1980s. They organize health fairs, participate in fundraising events and treat patients who have a wide range of medical needs.
