History: Founded in 1811.

The hospital opened its doors in 1811, becoming the first major general hospital in Massachusetts. Initially located at West Street, near Massachusetts General Court, it was largely funded by public donations.

Massachusetts General Hospital soon began to innovate and create medical breakthroughs, beginning with the introduction of Ether Anesthesia by Dr. William Thomas Green Morton.
