About us
Boston Medical Center models a new kind of excellence in healthcare, where innovative and equitable care empowers all patients to thrive. We combine world-class clinicians and cutting-edge treatments with compassionate, quality care that extends beyond our walls. Together, we're reimagining healthcare for Boston - and the world. As an award-winning health equity leader, our diverse clinicians and staff interrogate racial disparities in care and partner with our community to dismantle systemic inequities. This commitment to equity is the basis of all our work, particularly as 70 percent of our patients are people of color. In addition, nearly 30 percent of our patients speak a primary language other than English, and so we offer all our care and services in over 160 languages, including Spanish, Haitian Creole, Cape Verdean Creole, and more. As an academic medical center, BMC is building the future of health care. Our world-renowned researchers currently oversee over 660 research projects in a wide variety of areas, and as the principal teaching affiliate of Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, BMC is devoted to training future generations of health care professionals. BMC's clinical expertise, commitment to equity, quality, and sustainability efforts have been consistently recognized by organizations across the country, including the federal government, American Nurses Credentialing Center (Magnet designation), U.S. News, Leapfrog, Human Rights Campaign, the Lown Institute, Becker’s Healthcare, and more.

Four out of five people with uteruses will develop uterine fibroids by the age of 50, but Black women are diagnosed younger and more frequently than white women, often with worse fibroids and more severe symptoms. With funding from the Health Equity Accelerator, the Fibroid Center at BMC developed and is piloting a shared decision-making tool. The tool aims to help providers approach fibroids care through a health equity lens. "We've gotten positive feedback so far from patients about their experience with the tool being a very humanizing approach and feeling like they were being heard." -BMC's Kelly Treder, MD, gynecologist Learn more on #HealthCity: https://bit.ly/4fnpmTi
