The right place. The right time. The right team.

The development of the Harvard Street Neighborhood Health Hub comes at a crucial moment, as it aligns with the ongoing development of several key initiatives aimed at improving the infrastructure and accessibility of Boston’s underserved communities. Simultaneously, regional action plans focusing on enhancing public spaces, improving transportation routes, and fostering community connections are progressing. This synergy ensures that the health hub will be perfectly positioned to serve the surrounding neighborhoods, providing essential healthcare services in a timely manner and addressing the needs of residents who have historically lacked access to these resources.
