The North End Community Health Center provides comprehensive care to both adults and children. Primary health care is provided to persons eighteen and older by the Adult Medicine group, which is comprised of internists, nurse practitioners, and specialists. Services include routine physicals, health maintenance, management of ongoing medical problems, sick visits, and specialty visits. Pediatric care begins before a child is even born with counseling for parents. Infants, children, and adolescents are seen for routine physicals, immunizations, counseling, sick visits, and management of ongoing medical problems. All services for all age groups are provided in English and Italian. Patients followed at the center can contact us in an emergency after hours by calling 617-643-8000 and asking for the adult or pediatric doctor to be paged.
