About BMC Health System

Boston Medical Center Health System (BMC Health System) is an integrated health system comprised of the largest safety net hospital in New England, two community hospitals, and a health plan that cares for over 400,000 members across Massachusetts and New Hampshire.  Our roots as a provider system date back more than 150 years to our establishment as the City of Boston’s public hospital—it is a foundation we have built upon as the provider of care to the most vulnerable individuals in the region. As part of our integrated health system we operate eight Medicaid Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) in Massachusetts through an eight-year-old reform of MassHealth; we share risk and take responsibility for quality of care for our ACO members under the program.  BMCHS also plays a leading role as a safety-net system through our efforts to advance health equity (e.g., our StreetCred program to help low-income families claim the Earned-Income Tax Credit), invest in new models for addressing social determinants of health (e.g., our first-of-its-kind hospital-based food pantry), provide behavioral health treatment (e.g., our primary-care-based model for opioid addiction treatment), and more.
