Boston Medical Center

At Boston Medical Center, all are welcome and treated equally. When you come to BMC, we provide not only the traditional medical care you might need to get you healthy, but also the programs, services, and support that will help you stay well.

Everyone has the right to health and wellness, no matter who you are, where you live, what you do, or where you’re from. As the largest safety net hospital in New England, we are dedicated to providing accessible care for everyone, whether at our private, not-for-profit, 514-bed, academic medical center located in Boston's historic South End or out in the communities where our patients live.

Nearly 75 percent of our patients come from underserved populations, such as the low-income and elderly, who rely on government payers such as Medicaid, the Health Safety Net, and Medicare for their coverage. In addition, more than 27 percent of our patients do not speak English as a primary language. As part of our dedication to serving everyone, we offer all our medical care and services in over 263 languages through our Interpreter Services program.

Throughout our 70 medical specialties and subspecialties, BMC providers conduct over one million patient visits a year. In addition, we are the busiest trauma and emergency services center in New England. Our physicians, nursing, and other professional staff are leaders in their fields with the most advanced medical technology at their fingertips. No matter who you meet at BMC – from the x-ray technologist to the critical care nurse, the admissions staff to the chief of surgery – everyone is committed to providing quality care to every patient and family member with respect, warmth, and compassion.
