The Clinic is a group practice of physicians, led by physicians. This system provides important advantages over traditional hospitals. At Lahey Clinic all doctors are salaried and the medical staff elects its own leadership from among its membership. The people who run the Clinic are doctors who continue to care for their patients. Patients come before economics.
Patients can schedule all their various tests and appointments with one phone call and on one visit.
Because the Clinic is thoroughly devoted to patient care, even gifts to teaching or research have an immediate impact on the excellence of diagnosis and treatment.
