It’s very true that life can be unpredictable. The team at Harbor Health wants to make sure you can still get the healthcare services you need!! ❤ DID YOU KNOW… that Harbor Health offers video appointments? Some people call this kind of appointment a “telehealth visit” or “virtual care.” If you are not able to come in for an in-person appointment, please call the health center to ask about switching to a telehealth visit.

Getting enough nutritious food is essential to our overall health and well-being. Yet according to The Greater Boston Food Bank, 1 in 3 Massachusetts adults reported household food insecurity. The Food Pantry at Harbor Health makes it easier for individuals and families to get the healthy food they need in the communities served by Harbor Health’s community health centers and Harbor Health PACE. And thanks to generous donations from organizations, businesses, and individuals, we distributed over 305,000 pounds of healthy, nutritious food in 2024 – the most distributed in our food pantry’s 30+-year history!!
