Community Initiatives
Beth Israel Deaconess was involved in community health from the earliest days, helping in 1969 to lead the conversion of Roxbury's New England Hospital for Women and Children into the Dimock Community Health Center. BIDMC has continued to support community health centers, which today are a vibrant, crucial part of BIDMC's delivery system. They are also at the heart of BIDMC's mission to care for the underserved and BIDMC's Community Benefits is leading the way.
