Carney Hospital was a small for-profit community teaching hospital located in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.[1] It was owned and operated by Dallas-based Steward Health Care.[1]
The hospital had its beginnings in 1863 in South Boston. It was the first Catholic hospital in New England.[2] Among its first patients were American Civil War soldiers.[citation needed] In 1892 a Carney Hospital team performed the first abdominal surgery in Boston.[3]
In 2022, Carney Hospital was licensed for 159 beds, 91 of which were staffed, and discharged 3,119 inpatients. It operated with total revenues of $98 million, and with a deficit of $22.6 million.[1]
