The system also holds a 26% power purchase agreement from a North Carolina solar array. Geographic focus remains Massachusetts with one out-of-state energy exposure. In 2024 it purchased Good Samaritan Medical Center and St. Elizabeth's Medical Center from Steward Health Care. The organization lists 100% ownership of WellSense Health Plan and Clearway Health. It maintains two foundations: Boston Medical Center Foundation and Child Health Foundation of Boston. September 2024: Sponsored EQTY 2024 conference on health justice in Boston.
