Boston Medical Center (BMC) is a 511-bed academic medical center and safety-net hospital located in Boston. It provides comprehensive healthcare across more than 70 specialties and subspecialties, with a particular focus on serving underserved populations. The hospital operates what is described as the busiest trauma and emergency center in the New England region.
As an equity-led institution, BMC is positioned as a national model for caring for people traditionally underserved by the healthcare system. Its approach extends beyond clinical care to address social determinants of health through programs including a hospital-based rooftop farm, a teaching kitchen, a food pantry, and initiatives focused on economic mobility, housing, and transportation.
BMC is also a significant research institution, ranking as the 19th largest recipient of NIH funding among independent U.S. hospitals and securing over $110 million in sponsored research funding. The institution combines innovative treatments with an emphasis on compassion and patient empowerment.
