Women's Health

Our office has moved to the 5th floor of the Crosstown Building located at 801 Massachusetts Avenue. We are no longer located in the Shapiro Building.

Established in 1985, the Women's Health Group (WHG) was among the pioneers nationally in addressing the specific healthcare needs of patients who identify as female.

In 1997, the US Department of Health and Human Services recognized the practice as a national Center of Excellence in Women's Health, a model for best practices in caring for women. BMC’s practice is one of only 21 in the nation, and among the first to be so recognized.

The primary care providers in the WHG possess additional training beyond their conventional expertise, ensuring the integration of gender-informed primary care, ambulatory gynecologic care, mental health screening, and assessment for interpersonal violence into routine healthcare. In addition, the WHG provides reproductive healthcare services such as Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC), including intrauterine devices (IUDs) and subdermal implant.

As with all primary care practices at BMC, the WHG functions as an interdisciplinary team, with integrated behavioral health providers and patient navigators. All patients who receive primary care in this group also have access to expert subspecialty care at Boston Medical Center.
