About Us

Harvard Street Neighborhood Health Center, established in 1969 as an offshoot of the Boston Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH), became an independent , non-profit corporation in 1976. The largest portion of our funding comes from Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Medicare, Medicaid, the Neighborhood Health Plan, and other insurers.

Other funding comes from the City of Boston; the Massachusetts Department of Public Health; Women, Infants, and Children (WIC); Community Health Services and the Boston Public Schools.

The underlying principles guiding Harvard Street Neighborhood Health Center’s mission statement are that people can best improve the quality of health and life by developing goals of self-health, by being producers of health rather than consumers of health care, and by being dedicated participants in health education and preventive medicine.
