St. Elizabeth's Medical Center (SEMC) (more often called St. Elizabeth's Hospital, its former name) is a large medical facility and teaching hospital in the Brighton neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. It is part of Caritas Christi Health Care (the second largest health care system in New England) and is a major teaching affiliate of the Tufts University School of Medicine.
Besides advanced capabilities in inpatient and outpatient care, SEMC's research laboratories are active centers of investigation in such areas such as cardiology, gastroenterology, neurology, hematology and oncology.
SEMC's Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology is of particular note as its history predates many other areas of medicine in which the hospital is involved. Generations of people in the Boston area where born at St. Elizabeth's Hospital or more recently, at St. Elizabeth's Medical Center.
