A Healthier Boston Starts With You
Your donation to Boston Medical Center (BMC), the largest safety-net hospital in New England, helps deliver high-quality, compassionate care for everyone. Every gift directly supports our mission to advance health equity and improve health outcomes for our city and shape care nationwide.

Every day, BMC is here for the people of Boston. Gifts from our community allow us to:
- Care for all patients who come through our doors.
- Fund first-of-their-kind programs that address root causes of poor health — like food insecurity and housing — that become national models for a new brand of care.
- Support innovative research and training as a leading academic medical center.
- Maintain Boston’s largest safety-net hospital, its commitment to excellence, and so much more.
Why Donors Give to BMC
When Mark Allen moved to Boston, he was pleasantly surprised to find BMC in the heart of his new South End neighborhood.
“BMC truly is an anchor to the vision of world-class health care just a 15-minute walk away,” he says. “I want to do impactful things with my time and resources — it’s why I give to BMC.”
Mark gives through The BMC Fund, which supports the hospital’s greatest needs and ongoing health-equity initiatives to eliminate disparities in care.
