Office availability and hours will vary, and the types of services available will depend on your circumstances. Video visits with your doctor or care team using your phone or computer may be an effective way to address your medical needs. Our Safe Care Commitment: Screen – Clean – Protect is in effect in all locations to help keep our patients and staff safe.
When you come in to pick up your prescriptions you will be screened for COVID symptoms at the door. You will be asked to remove your mask, sanitize your hands, and re-mask with a health center issued mask. If you are experiencing fever/cough/muscle aches/sore throat/shortness of breath; or have had contact with someone who has COVID-19 call your primary care before coming in.
If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 such as fever/cough/sore throat/muscle aches/shortness of breath; please call your primary health care provider for guidance. For your safety and the safety of others, please do not come to the Health Center unless you have been instructed to do so. Your provider will give you instructions on how to get care without exposing other people to your illness. If you are a North End or Charlestown resident or NEW Health patient you can make an appointment to be tested at one of our testing sites (see information above). If you are experiencing life-threatening symptoms such as difficulty breathing or pressure in the chest, please call 911.
