Dorchester House Multi-Service Center
About
Dorchester House Multi-Service Center, now known as DotHouse Health, is a community health center in Fields Corner that has served Dorchester residents for more than 126 years. Working in partnership with Boston Medical Center, it provides medical care to anyone who needs it, regardless of ability to pay. Patients who are uninsured or underinsured can get help applying for health coverage through public assistance programs.
As a licensed health center of Boston Medical Center, DotHouse follows the hospital’s policies while accounting for the needs of its own patients. Staff can enroll patients in insurance programs and evaluate them for discounts based on family size and income under a sliding fee scale, and no one is denied services for inability to pay. Patients can schedule appointments and communicate with their clinical team online, and the center describes itself as nationally recognized.
