Mass General Brigham and Dana-Farber launch rival cancer institutes
What happened
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Beth Israel Lahey Health are beginning construction on a new $1.68 billion cancer hospital in Boston, which is set to open in 2031 for inpatient care. This collaboration is linked to Dana-Farber leaving its decades-long partnership with Brigham and Women's Hospital. In response, Mass General Brigham has launched its own rival cancer institute and is constructing new buildings and renovating spaces to compete.
