BID Plymouth, formerly Jordan Hospital, has grown from a 12-bed rural hospital to a 170-bed, acute care community hospital, serving residents in Plymouth and Barnstable counties.
The hospital was named for its first benefactor, Eben D. Jordan, a summer resident of Plymouth who had generously offered to give the sum of $10,000, which he later doubled to $20,000. One of the first acts of the directors was the purchase of the land on Sandwich Street, where the hospital still stands. In December of 1903, Jordan Hospital opened its doors to the first patients and has remained a community hospital ever since.
