The East Boston Neighborhood Health Center (EBNHC) is a nonprofit organization that has been meeting the heath care needs of the "CREW" area (Chelsea, Revere, East Boston, and Winthrop), since 1970. Together with the senior management team, EBNHC's community- based Board of Directors sets the direction for the Health Center with input from clinical departments, employee representatives, health center committees (e.g., Quality Improvement), and a number of community groups. Close relationships with these groups provides EBNHC with a strong network of information regarding needed services for East Boston residents. In a health care system that poses challenges for insured and uninsured patients alike, EBNHC focuses on the primary care physician as the "key manager" of patient care throughout a complex continuum of preventive, primary, acute, specialty, rehabilitative, and palliative care. EBNHC's model of quality care is fueled by its ability to encourage access to needed services through its 24 hour urgent care system. By always being available, patients from a variety of backgrounds and economic conditions can receive high quality medical care while obtaining assistance in navigating through the complex maze of social service, mental health, and insurance programs. In this manner, EBNHC avoids the fragmentation of services for its patients, and provides a comprehensive system of care under the leadership of the primary care physician who advocates for and manages patient care. In addition the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center is one of the largest employers in the "CREW" area, currently employing a staff of over 750. EBNHC has a competitive compensation system, with newly elevated ranges and shift differentials, and an excellent employee benefit package. Located conveniently 2 blocks from Maverick station on the T's Blue line and excellent access to those who use the Ted Williams Tunnel, it is a wonderful alternative to working in the busy hustle of a downtown facility. EBNHC has recently celebrated 30 years of delivering quality care to our unique communities. |
