About Us

Our multidisciplinary healthcare team is composed of nurse practitioners, consulting physicians, psychologists, social workers, registered nurses, laboratory technicians, and health educators, supported by clinical and administrative support staff.

We provide both telehealth and on-site health care and mental health services for the UMass Boston Community. To ensure effective communication and understanding, we offer Language Line services for translations during appointments. This service allows us to provide high-quality care to patients who prefer or need communication in a language other than English.
