As part of its commitment to addressing health inequities throughout the region, Point32Health has established comprehensive programs and initiatives to directly address inequities in health care in Boston and throughout the New England region.
As part of this collaboration, Boston Medical Center and BCSF will display Point32Health's logo on the Curbside Care mobile healthcare unit.
