Our Mission
Our mission is to provide comprehensive and culturally sensitive women’s health services to refugee, asylum-seeking, and recent immigrant communities in the Greater Boston area.
Our Patients
Our patients come from over 20 different countries. Our providers speak Spanish, French, and Haitian Creole.
Interpreter services, both in person and by telephone, are available to patients in over 30 languages.
No one is turned away because of lack of funds. We welcome people who may need support with health insurance and addressing transportation, food, and housing needs.
