Whittier Street Health Center is a community health organization based in Roxbury, Massachusetts, serving several Boston neighborhoods including Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan, and the South End. It emphasizes wellness, prevention, and addressing racial and ethnic health disparities through culturally appropriate outreach and a patient-centered approach. A multidisciplinary team coordinates the full cycle of care—covering inpatient and outpatient services, rehabilitation, and supportive programs such as fitness, nutrition, social work, and behavioral health—while integrating education and follow-up. Operating in the hospitals and health care sector, the center seeks to improve health equity and social justice for its diverse patient population, many of whom face poverty and environmental health challenges. It holds accreditation from The Joint Commission and is recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance as a Patient-Centered Medical Home, reflecting its emphasis on coordinated, high-quality care; it also has recognition for behavioral health integration. A notable recent development is the launch of a Mobile Dental and Vision Service in 2025, expanding access to essential services.
