Partnerships and Affiliations


Tufts Children's Hospital in Boston

Lawrence General Hospital has had a clinical affiliation with Tufts Children's Hospital since the fall of 2009. The relationship strengthens Lawrence General’s Services for Growing Families in many ways. The principal pediatric teaching hospital for Tufts University School of Medicine, Tufts Children's Hospital is nationally recognized for the quality of its clinical programs and services and its groundbreaking pediatric research. Their pediatricians are on site at Lawrence General 24/7 to coordinate hospital care with local pediatricians. We also offer a special care nursery for newborns needing extra support, pediatric surgery, pediatric anesthesia here at the hospital as well as several pediatric outpatient specialties like gastroenterology and cardiology in the Marston Street Pediatric Specialty Center, also here in Lawrence.

Greater Lawrence Family Medicine Residency Program & Health Center

Lawrence General is proud to partner with the Greater Lawrence Family Health Center on many health-related initiatives. We provide substantial support for this well-recognized four-year Family Medicine Residency Program, which draws many of the top medical students to the Merrimack Valley each year. Developed in 1994 as the nation’s first accredited community health center-sponsored family medicine residency program, this model program has received national recognition for providing not only superior academic training, but also for the unique cultural experiences the residents gain.

Lawrence General serves as the primary inpatient and emergency care provider for the local community as well as the only area teaching hospital proudly hosting residents of the program during their clinical rotations. As a result of our teaching partnership with the Residency, the number of primary care physicians in urban Lawrence has increased from only three in 1994 to approximately 100 today. Lawrence General provides financial support to the Health Center and the Lawrence Family Medicine Residency program, and more than 200 of the hospital’s medical staff members teach residents in their offices, in lectures and on rounds.
