We've been spotted! 👀💙

Boston Magazine's latest issue features BCP's 5th Anniversary Gala – and we're still smiling about it.

The evening brought together an incredible community of supporters, honorees, and advocates at the SoWa Power Station, raised nearly $1.5 million, and reminded us just how much we can accomplish when we come together. We are so grateful to everyone who celebrated with us.

Thank you to Boston Magazine for this fabulous write-up and recognition, and to our entire community for making five years of equitable, integrated pediatric care possible.

Auntie Jane's Closet just got a refresh and we have some incredible partners to thank for it. 💙

Aunt Jane's Closet is a special place where BCP patients can browse a large selection of donated clothing and take whatever they need, including new and like-new clothing for all ages and some select baby gear – with complete dignity and privacy.

Our community helps to make this closet a life-saver for families. This week, a heartfelt thank you to the volunteers from Citizens Bank, who came in to organize a large order from Cradles to Crayons Massachusetts and donate to our clothing closet, and to Kenzie & Hope for donating brand new, beautiful clothes for our families to take home.

These are the health essentials that are too often forgotten by traditional health care– but are so important to every child’s wellbeing. Thank you, Citizens Bank, Kenzie & Hope, and Cradles to Crayons for helping our patients feel confident and cared for! 🛍👕💙

In February 2019, Michael McDermott and his wife were at the Brigham where they had just welcomed their new baby girl. A nurse there recommended that when they left the hospital, they contact a pediatrician named Dr. Robyn Riseberg, so they immediately wrote down her name. But just a few hours later, who should serendipitously walk right into their hospital room but Dr. Riseberg herself. She checked on their newborn daughter and has been their pediatrician ever since.

Michael and his family are proud Day-One supporters of BCP. So this April, Michael is lacing up for his first marathon and he's running it for BCP’s innovative health equity model. Turning 40 deserves a milestone worth remembering, and for Michael, that means running 26.2 miles for the practice that has been part of his family from the very beginning.

Some connections are just meant to be. 💙 🏃

Cheer on Michael on April 20th and support his marathon here: https://www.givengain.com/project/michael-raising-funds-for-boston-community-pediatrics-113661

BCP’s Camp Night 2026 is in the books, and 104 of our patients are now one step closer to an unforgettable summer. Thank you to the entire BCP Team for making last night such a big success!⛺💙

Summer enrichment is essential for children’s mental and physical health–and camp is where kids can explore, grow, make friends, and build confidence. So BCP ensures that every child has access to an amazing camping experience.

Last night, BCP brought families together to explore over 18 summer programs from local camp partners, including the Office of Youth Engagement and Advancement, St. Stephen's Youth Programs, Camp Hale and Club 48- United South End Settlements, PBHA (Phillips Brooks House Association) - Summer Urban Program, The BASE, Camp Harbor View, Camp Wonderland – The Salvation Army USA, Boston Public Schools 5th Quarter, Agassiz Village, and Youth Enrichment Services (YES)!

Families met camp representatives, found the right fit for their child (many kids are excited to try out more than one camp experience), and received registration support to make camp possible–from day programs close to home to overnight camps filled with adventures. On top of that, every child left Camp Night with a drawstring backpack full of essential camp supplies, along with fresh produce and shelf-stable food for the whole family.

Last year, BCP was proud to register 93 patients for 103 summer camp experiences. We can't wait to see what this summer brings. ☀️🍉

Here's to s'mores, sing-alongs, and memories that last. ✨

Women supporting women – that's the heart of our Strong Mom, Healthy Baby program.

In this innovative group program, new mothers (and sometimes fathers!) and their babies come together for routine pediatric check-ups, while moms share their experience, ask questions of providers and other new moms, build community, and help each other tackle the shared challenges of new parenthood. No mom should have to take on motherhood alone–so our health care model makes space for relationship-building and belonging.

This Women's History Month, we celebrate all the mothers who are stepping up for each other. Thank you for being a part of a new model of care that values community and connection just as much as it values medical care. Together, we are changing the way healthcare is delivered to all children - by building trust, centering dignity, and providing the same support for kids–and moms–that we would want for our own families.

Today, at BCP, we’re feeling extra lucky–because we work with the most amazing team in Boston! 💚🌈

So we just had to surprise them with St. Patrick's Day shirts, festive headbands, and goodie bags for a little celebrating.

Happy St. Patrick's Day from all of us at BCP! 🍀

Meet Dr. Jen Gill, BCP's Medical Director, third-time marathoner, and proof that commitment to a mission can get you through anything. Even 4 AM wake-ups. 🕓

There are the early mornings and sore muscles. The tedious treadmill runs (because Boston winters aren't kind to outdoor training). And when you do brave the outdoors, there are the negative-five-degree mornings in the dark: "I put on every coat in my house and couldn't move my arms. I looked like the Michelin Man." 🧣🧤

So why does she do it?

"Training for a marathon has to be proof of how much I believe in the mission of BCP," says Jen, who recently joined BCP full-time as our Medical Director. As a pediatrician with over two decades of experience, she knows the power of equitable, integrated healthcare. And not only has she made it her full time mission and passion, she also decided it’s worth running for.

"I'm slow and steady!” she says, and she’s sticking to her plan to make it across the finish line: “eat well, sleep well, and run a little farther each week." No matter what!

That's dedication to healthcare equity – one mile at a time.

Cheer on BCP’s own Dr. Jen Gill on April 20th and support her marathon here: https://ow.ly/TMMX50YuY9U 💙

A huge thank you to the Northeastern University Latin American Student Organization for volunteering with us to pack swag bags for BCP's Camp Night! 🏕️🎒

Camp Night is one of our favorite events of the year. We know safe, enriching activities are essential for all children–especially when school is out–so we bring BCP families together to explore day and overnight programs with representatives from local summer camps, and we help them register their children for life-changing adventures.

We are so grateful for community partners like LASO! Thanks to their hard work, participating patients will receive a bag full of everything they need to get excited for summer: a towel, water bottle, Target gift card, hygiene kit, sunscreen, and more. ☀️

Because we are ALL looking forward to warmer weather–and every child deserves a summer to remember. 💙

Today, Boston Marathon Giving Day, is a 24-hour online fundraising sprint that helps marathon teams and runners push toward their fundraising goals 🦄💙💛 It is the biggest fundraising day of the marathon season! This Boston Marathon Giving Day, help us rally behind BCP’s Inaugural Boston Marathon Team and fuel every mile they take toward changing the way healthcare is delivered to all children 👟💪✨

Every family deserves the essential hygiene products and clothing that allow them to live with confidence, dignity, and good health. But too often, families already contending with impossible choices–like paying for rent or groceries–are forced to go without.

We’re proud that behind every appointment at BCP, there's a network of community partners helping our families access those essentials:

💙 Hygiene kits from Hope & Comfort, making soap, shampoo, toothpaste, and deodorant available at every BCP visit.

💙 Menstrual products from Dignity Matters, overcoming period poverty as a critical barrier to health and wellbeing.

💙 New underwear from Cocotree Kids, addressing clothing insecurity one package at a time.

💙 Diapers in all sizes from Diaper Circle, because clean, dry diapers are essential for children’s health but are not covered by assistance programs like SNAP or WIC.

💙 Clothing for all ages from Cradles to Crayons Massachusetts and many other donors, allowing families to choose what they need at no cost in a private, respectful space.

We're so grateful for every organization that helps us serve families with dignity. ✨

This is what community partnership looks like: working together to remove barriers that shouldn't exist in the first place.

03/09/2026

We are proud to continue our partnership with Life Science Cares for our second year! Through the Network of Good, BCP works alongside 39 Boston nonprofits to disrupt the cycle of poverty and improve health equity in our community–because when it comes to creating lasting change for Boston's children and families, we’re stronger together.

Today we celebrate International Women's Day, and the women who make BCP possible. 💪

BCP is a woman-led, woman-founded organization, and we're proud to be powered by a community of so many incredible women: physicians, staff, philanthropists, and community partners.

And we celebrate the mothers, grandmothers, aunties, sisters, and caregivers who trust us with their children's health. The women who advocate fiercely for their families. The women who navigate impossible systems to do what is right for their kids.

We are so grateful to partner with all of you as we work for a more equitable future.

This month, we will share stories from our team about the women who inspired them and why representation in medicine matters.

Happy International Women's Day. 💫
