It’s Medicaid Monday and today we are spotlighting a key part of preventive care that Medicaid helps make possible: VACCINES!

Vaccines Save Lives. 
Vaccines are one of the most powerful tools in modern medicine. Every year, they save an estimated 4 million lives globally by preventing the spread of deadly infectious diseases. They protect not just individuals, but entire communities.

Science Drives Vaccine Policy
The CDC follows rigorous, evidence-based procedures for recommending childhood vaccinations. These decisions are led by scientists and pediatric health experts, not politicians. Attempts to override this process undermine public trust and put children’s health at risk.

Vaccines Do Not Cause Autism
This myth has been thoroughly debunked. Dozens of studies, conducted across decades and populations, have confirmed that vaccines do not cause autism. The original study suggesting a link has been retracted and discredited, and its author lost his medical license for ethical violations.

Trust Your Pediatrician
While public discourse may shift, science hasn’t changed: vaccines are safe, necessary, and effective. If you have questions or concerns, your pediatrician is your best resource. They can walk you through the immunization schedule and explain why it’s essential for your child’s well-being.💙🩺💉

📣 BCP Summer Programs have started!
Last week we had our first week of summer programming, and it has been an absolute blast! We have programming available to our patients every day of the week, all in partnership with incredible local organizations 💙✨. Here is our recap from the first week of fabulous programming! 
On Monday, we kicked things off at our energetic soccer clinic with - BCP patients are building soccer skills, making new friends, and getting moving in a fun, supportive environment every Monday. On Tuesday, we had a joy-filled toddler dance class at BCP led by . This class develops confidence, creativity, and community through movement. On Wednesday, we went to for an instructive workout session that introduced our patients to the basics of strength training, and then hosted the very popular BCP Nutritious cooking class! On Thursday, we teamed up with for a day of outdoor play and creative activities to keep everyone active! We closed out our beautiful first week of summer programs with Fun Friday, which was filled with games, music, snacks, and joyful connection for our patients and families. A huge shoutout to our summer interns for helping facilitate all of these incredible experiences. 
All BCP patients are welcome to join our summer programming! There is no experience needed for any of these programs— just bring your energy and a smile!

Let’s make this a summer to remember — together. 💙🩺🫶🏽

The BCP team had an absolute blast at our annual summer outing at Fenway Park yesterday! ⚾️❤️

Cheering on the Red Sox with the incredible team at BCP is always a highlight of our summer, and this year was no exception. We repped personalized, matching Red Sox T-shirts highlighting our 5th anniversary this year (thanks to our friends and All Sports Wear — we love twinning!), devoured Fenway Franks, and sang along with fans under the lights.

From seeing our name on the scoreboard to dancing on the jumbotron and hanging out with the Fenway Hat Lady, we loved every moment at Fenway.

We are so grateful to the for making this annual tradition possible for BCP. It’s a day we look forward to all year, and it brings us closer together as we continue to care for and uplift our community. Good times never seemed so good! 🎶✨❤️⚾️

The passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” WILL significantly undermine healthcare access not only for children on Medicaid, but for all of us.🩺

Medicaid is the largest source of health coverage for children in the U.S. It ensures kids get important well-child visits, mental health care, and critical treatments so they can grow, learn, and thrive.

Cuts of this magnitude will mean:
• More uninsured children leading to less preventive care
• Delays in critical treatments
• Greater health disparities for kids in families with low-income
• Added strain on families already facing economic hardship, perpetuating a cycle of poverty so many are working hard to break

We believe every child deserves access to healthcare—the same care we would want for our own children. We will continue to work, advocate, and partner with families to make this a reality.

This month, our Healthy Baby, Strong Mom group kicked off a high-energy physical activity session! Moms came together to discover fun and creative ways to stay active while caring for their little ones. The room was filled with movement, laughter, and so much love. 💕 👶🏽 ✨

There’s nothing like the power of moms supporting moms — strong bodies, strong hearts, strong community. 💙⭐️🩺👩🏻‍⚕️

The Senate is currently voting on the proposed $1 TRILLION in Medicaid and CHIP cuts over the next 10 years, which will have devastating consequences for children and families across the country. At Boston Community Pediatrics, we see every day how access to healthcare can change the trajectory of a child’s life and uplift entire communities. Children’s health should NEVER be up for debate. Now, more than ever, we need to protect Medicaid and the health of our children and families.

Tonight was the first meeting of the Caregiver Council at BCP! This newly selected group of caregivers, led by the fabulous family partner Kim Skelton, represents so many different voices in our community. One of the goals of the group is to help inform BCP’s mission and programming. Each caregiver shared their story and contributed to this very powerful and inspiring conversation about what they are experiencing in their own community and how BCP can best address their goals. We all left inspired, invigorated, and ready to create change - TOGETHER! This is community and this is BCP!

We are so grateful to these amazing caregivers and all of the staff at BCP who supported our first meeting. Special shoutout to the fabulous summer interns for providing childcare onsite! 💙🩺🫶🏽💫
