Dr. Marie Zakrzewska (1829-1902) established the New England Hospital for Women and Children at 60 Pleasant Street in 1862, soon moving it to larger quarters here at 14 Warren Street (now called Warrenton) in a building which is no longer standing. The first hospital in New England run by women doctors and for women patients, it was also the first hospital in Boston to include full departments of obstetrics, gynecology, and pediatrics under one roof. One of the hospital’s earliest Resident Physicians was the pioneering doctor, Lucy Sewall, MD (1837-90). Among the student interns in the 1860s were renowned future doctors, Susan Dimock and Sophie Jex-Blake.
