Business Details
South End Community Health Center (SECHC) is a comprehensive health care organization for all residents of the South End and surrounding communities. We are committed to providing high-quality, coordinated health care that is culturally and linguistically sensitive to every patient, regardless of ability to pay.
SECHC was founded in 1969 by renowned pediatrician Dr. Gerald Hass, businessman Mel Scovell, and neighborhood activists in response to persistent health care disparities and lack of access to quality health care in Boston’s South End community. SECHC provides primary medical care (adult and family medicine, pediatrics, and women’s health), behavioral health services, and dental and eye care.
We also offer specialty care services and wellness programming. After more than 50 years, the health center is widely recognized for its outstanding holistic care provided to all, regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical ability, or income.
In 2020, we merged with the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center (EBNHC). SECHC sites now operate as locations of EBNHC and our staff members are EBNHC employees, thus unifying the two health centers in providing comprehensive health care services to diverse Boston-area communities.
