Developer HYM Investment Group is progressing on its development at the former site of Carney Hospital, with plans to build a new healthcare facility as well as housing and retail on the property.
HYM and partner My City at Peace are planning to transform the site into a mixed-use, healthcare-anchored neighborhood in Dorchester that would include a care facility, senior and rental housing, retail and education space, according to plans on the developer’s website and documents presented to the neighborhood council in Dorchester.
Carney Hospital, formerly owned by Steward Health Care, has been shuttered since 2024 as a result of the high-profile bankruptcy of Steward. HYM signed an agreement in October with current site owner Apollo Global Management to create a plan to redevelop the Carney space.
With the closure of Carney, Dorchester residents’ access to healthcare took a significant blow: Carney was the only hospital within walking distance for much of the neighborhood’s residents. HYM and My City at Peace are working with the city to address gaps in healthcare access, which were highlighted in a 2025 report from a group of city and state leaders that stressed the need to keep healthcare services at the site.
The property at 2100 Dorchester Ave. spans 12 acres, stretching from Adams Village, West Codman Hill to Dorchester Lower Mills. Under the redevelopment and revitalization plan, the hospital site would better connect the area with transit and access to green space at Dorchester Park.
“The development team looks forward to continuing this collaboration to advance a plan that restores equitable access to healthcare, supports community well-being, and delivers new housing, good-paying jobs, and an opportunity to reestablish the site as a place of healing and connection for Dorchester and Lower Mills,” reads the project description.
