Reference excerpt

NEBH is an international leader in the treatment of all forms of musculoskeletal disorders and diseases.

History

New England Baptist Hospital was established in 1893 by the Triennial Convention, now American Baptist Churches USA, the mainline Baptist denomination in USA with a long history in New England. When the hospital was created in 1893, Parker Hill was a streetcar suburb considered far enough away from downtown Boston to provide fresh air and an escape from the noise and congestion of the city for patients who might benefit from long term rest and relaxation. Parker Hill offers panoramic views of the city, Boston Harbor, and the Blue Hills. In April 2017, New England Baptist Hospital agreed to join with Lahey Health and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

Bone & Joint Institute

Through the associated New England Baptist Bone & Joint Institute, the hospital offers a full range of services in orthopedics and rheumatology, occupational medicine and sports medicine, foot and ankle care, joint replacement, spine care, and hand surgery. The institute offers such services as preventive, educational, diagnostic, treatment, and rehabilitation services.

Sports medicine NEBH has a long association with sports medicine and has provided services to U.S. Olympic teams and multiple professional athletes. Boston Red Sox legend Ted Williams came to the Baptist for treatment of a cervical disk disorder in the 1950s. In 1999, esteemed PGA Tour player Jack Nicklaus came to the Baptist for a new hip. NEBH is the official hospital of the eighteen-time world champion Boston Celtics and has a long association with the Boston Athletic Association which hosts the Boston Marathon.

Notable mentions

The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) named NEBH as one of the top 10 United States hospitals for knee and hip orthopedics. U.S. News & World Report selected the Baptist as one of the top 20 orthopedic hospitals in the country. Becker's Hospital Review listed NEBH under 60 Hospitals With Great Orthopedic Programs.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with New England Baptist Hospital

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what New England Baptist Hospital claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to New England Baptist Hospital before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about New England Baptist Hospital ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of New England Baptist Hospital

In research: New England Baptist Hospital appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses New England Baptist Hospital in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: New England Baptist Hospital is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Baptist hospitals in the United States, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for New England Baptist Hospital outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
