The value of family medicine:
An impossible job
done impossibly well.
Family physicians:
- Serve as trusted, lifelong partners in health and wellness
- Prioritize a holistic approach that values the doctor-patient relationship to support care delivery
- Provide complex, comprehensive hospital-based, maternity, and office-based patient care
Boston HealthNet and Family Medicine:
A Partnership Rooted in Community
The Boston University Department of Family Medicine is deeply embedded with Boston HealthNet, a unique partnership between Boston Medical Center, Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, and a network of federally qualified community health centers (CHCs) throughout the Greater Boston area. This collaboration serves as the foundation for a model of care that is both academically rigorous and community-grounded.
