Mount Auburn Hospital (MAH) is a community hospital with a patient capacity of about 200 beds in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[1][2] It has become an affiliated teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School.[3][4] It was founded by Civil War era nurse and administrator Emily Elizabeth Parsons as the first hospital in Cambridge in 1866.[5] It was reopened in 1886 and until 1947 was known as Cambridge Hospital.[6][7]
