✨ September is PCOS Awareness Month ✨

Let’s break the silence and raise awareness about Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS).

If you’re experiencing symptoms like irregular periods, unwanted hair growth, or unexplained weight changes, it’s important to talk to your doctor. Early diagnosis and treatment can make a big difference.

At DotHouse Health, we’re here to support you with comprehensive diagnosis and treatment options for PCOS.

We would like to thank everyone for making our First Impressions – Back 2 School Fair a huge success! ✨

We had such a wonderful time celebrating the start of the school year with our community. Special thank you to James W. Hills for hosting, and to all of our incredible community partners who made this event possible! 🙌

As we reflect on the 24th anniversary of the events of September 11th, we'd like to take a moment to remember and commemorate the lives lost due to this tragic event. We honor their families and those who gave their lives to protect and keep our country safe.

Even 24 years later, a great majority of us have seared memories of what happened in 2001, and we will never forget. Those memories continue to connect us to each other—and to a deep sense of shared humanity.

We encourage everyone to take a moment today for reflection, whether in memory of those lost, in honor of those who served, or in gratitude for the everyday opportunities we have to support and uplift others.

As we head into a new season, it’s the perfect time to make sure your family is protected and up to date on all recommended vaccines—especially for children and adolescents. Staying on schedule with childhood vaccinations is one of the most important steps you can take to keep your child healthy and safe from preventable diseases.

Please know, that all vaccines we administer have undergone extensive scientific research, testing, and monitoring for safety and effectiveness. At DotHouse Health Center, we stand firmly behind the safety and importance of vaccines—they are one of the most powerful tools we have to protect your child’s health and the well-being of our entire community.

Here’s how we can help you stay on track:
• If your child is due for a routine visit, please call to schedule an appointment with their Primary Care Provider (P*P).
• If your child only needs a vaccine, you can schedule a visit with our Nurse of the Day by calling 617-288-3230.

Please note, information regarding the 2025-2026 Flu and Covid-19 vaccines will be communicated in the coming weeks via mychart and our website – www.dothouseahealth.org. At that time, we will also announce the dates and times of our walk-in vaccine clinics.

To schedule or ask about your child’s vaccination needs, please call us at 617-288-3230. Our team is here to support you and answer any questions you may have.
