BWH's Commitment to Health Equity

The Brigham and Women’s Hospital Center for Community Health and Health Equity (CCHHE) is committed to advancing systems of care, research and community programs that elevate the health and well-being of people who live in our surrounding communities.

 

Priority communities include Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, Mattapan, Mission Hill and Roxbury, due to their proximity to the hospital and the disproportionate burden of poverty, housing instability, and other social determinants of health. CCHHE approaches its work through a racial equity lens.

 

BWH runs two licensed community health centers in Jamaica Plain—Southern Jamaica Plain Health Center (SJPHC) and Brookside Community Health Center—where we provide high-quality, patient-centered health care services. Over 50% of SJPHC patients are Latino. BWH also provides face-to-face interpreter services for 30 different languages. Other than English, Spanish and French/Haitian Creole/Cajunare the most commonly spoken languages in BWH priority communities.
