Mission:
Founded in 1985 as one of the first Health Care for the Homeless programs in the country, Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program (BHCHP) is committed to a singular, powerful mission—to provide and assure access to the highest quality health care for Boston’s homeless men, women and children.
Geographic areas served: Greater Boston
Programs:
Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program maintains strong ties with Boston's academic medical community. Our program operates two bustling primary care clinics on the campuses of Massachusetts General Hospital and Boston Medical Center. These clinics integrate our providers into the larger hospital community and allowing our patients to have appointments with top-quality specialists. Important diagnostic services, like laboratory tests and radiology procedures, are readily available.
Multi-disciplinary teams deliver direct medical, dental and behavioral health services to homeless men, women and children in over 80 other unconventional locations--in shelters and soup kitchens, under bridges, along back alleys, and even behind the backstretch barns of a local thoroughbred racetrack. Five days a week we run comprehensive medical clinics at Pine Street Inn, St. Francis House, Rosie’s Place, Father Bill’s Place, Long Island Shelter and New England Center for Homeless Veterans.
