Worcester City Hospital was a public hospital in Worcester, Massachusetts from 1871 to 1991. It was established by an act of the Massachusetts state legislature and initially funded with a $200,000 donation from Worcester philanthropist George Jacques.[1] The hospital was initially run out of the Abijah Bigelow house (at the corner of Front and Church Streets).[2] As of 1988, the 271-bed hospital had an occupancy rate of only 39 percent.[3] The hospital was closed in 1991 due to financial difficulty and its campus at 26 Queen Street now houses a non-profit community health center called the Family Health Center of Worcester.[4][5]
