Brigham and Women's Hospital represents the 1975 merger of three Harvard-affiliated Boston hospitals: The Peter Bent Brigham Hospital (formed in 1913), the Robert Breck Brigham Hospital (1914), and the Boston Hospital for Women (itself a merger of the Boston Lying-in Hospital (1832) and the Free Hospital for Women (1875)). The hospital is home to one of the most powerful biomedical research institutes in the world. Over the last ten years, BWH has been either the largest or second-largest non-university recipient of research funding from the National Institutes of Health.
