Boston Healthcare for the Homeless Program (BHCHP), established in 1985, is a medical clinic located in Boston, MA. Outreach from BHCHP extends to 45 different locations in the greater Boston area. The community health center’s primary role is to provide primary healthcare services to the homeless population[1]. BHCHP’s model of care enables fostering a trustful provider-patient relationship whilst targeting critical issues homeless individuals face such as weather-related injuries, trauma, abuse, chronic illness, mental disorders, and substance misuse issues. Although this is not the only population they cater to as chronically ill adults, veterans, youth, elderly, immigrants, and families also seek care from the facility[2]. The overarching aim of BHCHP is to provide comprehensive, high-quality health care to all of the patients that walk through their door[1].
