FQHC network serving 120,000+ patients across Boston with primary, specialty, and emergency care
NeighborHealth is a nonprofit FQHC operating primary care, specialty services, and a satellite emergency department across Boston's lower-income neighborhoods. The tech footprint—Epic, Dentrix, Workday, and Windows infrastructure—is standard healthcare stack, but the project list reveals operational scaling challenges: WIC immunization workflows, pharmacy purchasing efficiency, interpreter service coordination, and ED length-of-stay reduction dominate their roadmap. Hiring momentum is decelerating while clinical staff (healthcare, dental, pediatrics) compose 70% of active roles, suggesting they're optimizing existing capacity rather than expanding headcount.
Notable leadership hires: Administrative Director, Medical Director, Chief Medical Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Dental Director
NeighborHealth is one of the nation's largest Federally Qualified Health Centers, serving over 120,000 patients across Boston. Originally founded as East Boston Neighborhood Health Center in 1970, the organization merged with South End Community Health in 2020 to expand primary care, specialty services, dental, vision, behavioral health, and emergency care across East Boston, Roxbury, and the South End. The nonprofit operates a satellite emergency department—the fourth busiest in Boston—and is recognized by HRSA as a National Quality Leader. NeighborHealth employs 1,001–5,000 staff and anchors care delivery for low-income and immigrant populations, combining traditional clinical services with community health initiatives like WIC support and food/nutrition programs.
Epic Systems for core EHR, Dentrix for dental records. Workday handles HR and payroll; Windows infrastructure, Active Directory, and Citrix support clinical workflows.
Key projects include WIC immunization workflow, pharmacy purchasing efficiency, interpreter service coordination, emergency department length-of-stay reduction, and service delivery system redesign to improve patient access and cost efficiency.
