Founded in 1921, Martha’s Vineyard Hospital is a critical access, nonprofit, community hospital. It is located seven miles out to sea and is only accessible by boat or air. A member of Boston-based Mass General Brigham system, the hospital provides extensive acute, ambulatory and specialty services onsite and through its system affiliation. It has added more than 38 new clinical specialties to meet increasing demand, saving patients difficult off-island travel. A $38 million campaign to address the critical need for workforce housing has resulted in a 48-unit residential site that opened in 2025. The hospital also supports the island’s only skilled nursing facility.
