East Boston Neighborhood Health Center

The East Boston Neighborhood Health Center (EBNHC) has been a vital part of the community for more than 45 years. From the beginning, our services and development have been defined by the needs of East Boston and the communities we serve.

Our mission is to provide easily accessible, affordable, appropriate, high-quality, personalized, coordinated primary care, for all who live and work in East Boston and the surrounding communities, without regard to age, income, insurance status, language, culture, or social circumstances

We believe that effective primary care must be personalized, accessible, and multidisciplinary. In addition to a full array of primary and specialty services, we have a 24x7x365 Emergency Department and an on-site pharmacy. To better serve our diverse patient population, we offer interpreters, transportation, and outreach. We’ve also developed innovative programs to help address the health and well-being of community members with specific needs, including HIV/AIDS, chronic diseases, children with multiple disabilities, and childhood obesity. In 2013, we were recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance as a Level 3 Patient-Centered Medical Home and we are an FTCA-deemed facility.

Our Neighborhood PACE program helps seniors in our community stay in their own homes for as long as possible. Our Education & Training Institute provides our present and future employees, many of whom are also neighbors and patients, with skill training and career paths.
