About the Friends of BWH

Mission Statement

The mission of the Friends of Brigham and Women's Hospital is to provide the hospital community withoutstanding services and fundraising efforts that will support compassionate patient care, teaching excellence, and life saving research.

What We Do

Our diverse membership consists of volunteers, donors, patients, physicians, and staff who are committed to promoting the hospital and its mission.  The Friends fundraising efforts have resulted in more than $8 million of investment towards unmet capital needs, patient enhancements, and unfunded programs of more than 250 departments.  Brigham and Women's Hospital is a not-for profit institution which was created by a merger in 1980 of three of Boston's oldest and most prestigious Harvard teaching hospitals- the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, the Robert Breck Brigham Hospital, and the Boston Hospital for Women.  Brigham and Women's Hospital, which is a part of the Partners Healthcare System, is dedicated to serving the needs of the community.  Through the generosity of many loyal supporters, Brigham and Women's Hospital continues to make advances in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure of illness and injury for patients in New England, across the country, and around the world.
