The main entrance of Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital- Plymouth

Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital- Plymouth (BID-Plymouth) is a hospital located in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Founded in 1901, it is today the largest hospital in the Southern region of the South Shore. BID-Plymouth is an acute care, 164-bed, non-profit community hospital serving 12 towns in Plymouth and Barnstable counties.[1] It contains more than 30 departments, programs and services, including chiropractic care.[2]

The hospital gained its original name of Jordan Hospital due to a $20,000 (equivalent to $703,520 in today's dollars)[3] donation by resident Eben Jordan.[4] In January 2014, Jordan Hospital joined the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center family of hospitals and became Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital-Plymouth.[5]
