About this place Fenway Health

Fenway Health began in 1971 as a volunteer-run free clinic in Boston's Fenway neighbourhood and soon became one of the first US health centres to focus openly on gay and lesbian patients. It was central to Boston's early response to AIDS, and its research arm, the Fenway Institute, works nationally on LGBTQ+ health, HIV prevention and transgender care. Today it runs from 1340 Boylston Street, offering primary care, sexual health and HIV services, PrEP, behavioural health and trans health care. It is a working clinic, not a museum. Visitors can use services as patients by appointment, Monday to Friday, with later hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

They provide decent healthcare, if you're successful in scheduling an appointment. I haven't been able to recently schedule even a regular physical (it seems they're booked up for 2-3 months), and only have been able to refill prescriptions.

Fenway health is amazing because it truly thinks of its demographic. The hours support the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ community and they are always willing to listen and understand. Their services are cheap because everything is paid via the pharmacy so when you get a prescription filled, most of the money goes to the clinic. Which feels AMAZING. They are my one stop shop for dental, behavioral health, and PCP. Would definitely recommend
