About Us

Who We Are

The mission of Mattapan Community Health Center (MCHC) is to improve the health and thereby help enhance the quality of life for all residents of Mattapan and surrounding communities by providing exceptional primary care and preventive health and social services.

Families and individuals in and around Boston have turned to the Mattapan Community Health Center for a wide array of healthcare services. Mattapan Community Health Center is a comprehensive health delivery organization that services individuals from Mattapan and its surrounding areas of Dorchester, Roxbury, and Hyde Park, as well as adjacent Boston suburbs like Brockton, Randolph, and Stoughton.

It is the only community health center in Mattapan and Hyde Park. Established in 1972 as the Avenue Neighborhood Health Center; it was incorporated in 1974 with its current name. Mattapan Community Health Center was independently licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and still remains so today. Its Board members represent communities served by the Health Center. The Senior Executive Team and the MCHC staff are diverse, dedicated, experienced professionals.

Family Medicine at Mattapan Community Health Center is provided with a team model of care with a focus on wellness and prevention for people of all ages. Our family medicine providers specialize in caring for the needs of your entire family throughout all stages of life. Family medicine differs from adult and pediatric medicine because your entire family can consult with one provider and this includes routine physical exams, preventive care, cancer & cholesterol screening, immunizations, chronic disease care, walk-in care for urgent problems, pregnancy & newborn care, family planning and gynecological services. We have Women’s Health specialists on our staff as well as OB/GYN physicians and nurse practitioners.


When you are healthy, we will help you stay healthy through regular preventive care and health education. We are also experts in the diagnosis and treatment of illness and the management of chronic diseases. We have special programs and support groups for patients with a number of chronic diseases including diabetes, hypertension, and asthma.
