“The care my husband received through Mass General Brigham's Home Hospital program was exceptional. It provided the right level of care without the disruption that often comes with a hospital stay. I’ve shared our experience with anyone who will listen—it truly transformed what could have been a stressful time into one of comfort, confidence, and convenience for our whole family."
