Success Stories - Cambridge Health Alliance

Overview

Cambridge Health Alliance is a regional health care system comprised of three hospitals, more than 20 primary care practices, the Cambridge Public Health Department, and Network Health, a statewide managed Medicaid health plan.

“After trying other products that were inadequate due to a reliance on signatures or rules, or were simply too cumbersome to manage, we are pleased that Sana Security and Juniper Networks are able to provide a simple yet comprehensive defense-in-depth solution that fit our heterogeneous IT infrastructure. As a primary teaching site for Harvard Medical School, we need to maintain high quality standards, both clinically and in our infrastructure. This solution gives us iron-clad protection at both the network and application levels, meets strict HIPAA regulations, and saves time and money that used to be spent on frantically patching software holes and chasing after falsely identified attacks.”

About Cambridge Health Alliance

The Alliance was created on July 1, 1996 with the merger of The Cambridge Hospital and Somerville Hospital, and expanded in July 2001 with the addition of Whidden Memorial Hospital in Everett.

Over the years, these three hospitals have seen many changes—in medical practices, in technology, and in the health care industry. Yet, they have never lost sight of the ultimate goal—to provide the best possible care to patients. Today, these three hospitals are united in a community of caring and, through this partnership, are more prepared than ever to meet the challenges of the 21st century and all our patients’ needs.
