NeighborHealth
About
NeighborHealth is a community health network serving neighborhoods across Greater Boston, with a location in East Boston. It provides primary care for adults, pediatric and adolescent care from birth through the teenage years, specialty care and an emergency room open around the clock, year round. It describes itself as one of the largest community-focused health care networks in the country, with an emphasis on equitable, culturally relevant care, and its primary care doctors are accepting new patients.
Since opening its doors in 1970, the organization has looked beyond the exam room. Its Community Resource and Wellness Center and seasonal farmers markets help families get groceries and necessities each week, and staff connect patients to help with housing, childcare, immigration, finances and legal issues. Older adults who want to live independently can enroll in Neighborhood PACE or Senior Care Options, which include home-delivered meals.
