Boston Medical Center (BMC) is a private, not-for-profit, 496-bed, academic medical center located in Boston's historic South End. The hospital is the primary teaching affiliate for Boston University School of Medicine.

The largest safety net hospital in New England, BMC provides a full spectrum of pediatric and adult care services, from primary care and family medicine to advanced specialty care. BMC is the largest and busiest provider of trauma and emergency services in New England. The ambulatory care services at Boston Medical Center includes over 70 medical specialties and subspecialties seeing more than one million patient visits a year. Unwavering in its commitment to serve the community, BMC is dedicated to providing accessible health care. Approximately 59 percent of our patient visits come from underserved populations, such as the low-income and elderly, who rely on government payors such as Medicaid, the Health Safety Net, and Medicare for their coverage, and 31 percent do not speak English as a primary language.
