Fenway Health

What Fenway Health does

Fenway Health is a Federally Qualified Community Health Center (FQHC) and 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1971 in Boston, Massachusetts, providing comprehensive healthcare to LGBTQIA+ populations, people living with HIV/AIDS, BIPOC communities, youth ages 12-29, and other underserved groups. The organization operates from its flagship Ansin Building at 1340 Boylston Street — a 10-story, 100,000 square foot facility described as the largest LGBTQIA+ health care, research and education facility in the world — alongside a secondary Fenway: South End location at 142 Berkeley Street. Service lines include primary and specialty medical care, transgender health, reproductive health and Alternative Insemination, behavioral health, HIV/AIDS care and prevention (including Ryan White-funded services), pharmacy, dental, optometry, radiology, complementary therapies, and a Violence Recovery Program. The Fenway Institute operates as an embedded research, education, and policy center; subsidiaries include the Sidney Borum, Jr. Health Program (youth services, joined 2010), AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts (acquired 2013), and the National LGBTQIA+ Health Education Center.

Technology infrastructure is built on Epic electronic health records (live since 2022 as part of a 12-member Community Technology Collaborative of community health centers) with the MyChart patient portal enabling online scheduling, prescription refills, referral requests, and provider messaging. Telehealth is delivered via Doximity with visit links sent by SMS. Specialized clinical technology includes the GE Healthcare Pristina Via 3D mammography system installed in February 2026 with foundation funding support, an in-house Fenway Pharmacy offering free home delivery across Massachusetts, and on-site Quest Diagnostics laboratory services. Academic integration includes affiliations with Beth Israel Lahey Health, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and Harvard Medical School, supporting the HMS-Fenway Health LGBTQIA+ Health Fellowship and the Kenneth H. Mayer Research Fellowship.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model combining clinical service billing, federal grants, and philanthropy. Insurance reimbursements come from MassHealth, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Harvard Pilgrim, Tufts, Cigna, Aetna, and United Healthcare, with co-payments collected at check-in; a sliding fee scale serves uninsured and underinsured patients without denial of care based on ability to pay. Federal funding sources include the HRSA Health Center Program grant under 42 U.S.C. § 254b and the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program. Pharmacy dispensing generates transaction revenue, and philanthropic support flows through foundations, corporate giving (including a multi-year Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Pride Month partnership), donor societies, and planned giving programs. The projected operating budget surpassed $100 million for the first time in 2017, with current scale supporting 500+ staff and 30,000+ patients.
