Harvard Street Neighborhood Health Center

Harvard Street Neighborhood Health Center is a Boston-based nonprofit federally qualified health center that provides comprehensive community-based healthcare services, primarily serving Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan, and surrounding neighborhoods. Founded in 1969 and operating independently as a not-for-profit since 1976, the organization delivers primary care, behavioral health, dental, pharmacy, infectious disease, family planning, eye care, nutrition, and other ambulatory services regardless of patients’ ability to pay. It functions as a care delivery organization rather than a drug-development biotech or pharmaceutical company, with a focus on equitable access, population health, and medically underserved communities. The center is part of the Boston healthcare ecosystem and transitioned to the Boston Medical Center network/Boston Accountable Care Organization for certain patient populations in 2023. Its business is service-based healthcare delivery, community programming, and public health support rather than proprietary therapeutic product development.
