Thier, MD, formerly president of Massachusetts General Hospital as president. According to The Boston Globe, by 2008, Mass General Brigham became Massachusetts' "largest private employer and its biggest healthcare provider, treating more than a third of hospital patients in the Boston metropolitan area".
On January 28, 2019, Dr. Torchiana unexpectedly announced his departure as the chief executive of Mass General Brigham effective at the end of April 2019. According to The Boston Globe, the reason for the departure was disagreements between Torchiana and the leaders of the two major hospitals that make up Mass General Brigham.
