My team
Boston Community Pediatrics (BCP) is the first nonprofit pediatric private practice in Massachusetts.
This year, we are honored to be running the Falmouth Road Race in support of Boston Community Pediatrics—an organization that is making an extraordinary difference in the lives of children and families throughout Greater Boston.
We've had the privilege of seeing firsthand that BCP is so much more than a doctor's office. Their team cares for the whole child and the whole family, recognizing that good health extends far beyond a medical appointment. Whether it's providing families with clothing through their community closet, helping children start the school year with backpacks filled with supplies, or ensuring families have a Thanksgiving meal to gather around, they are constantly finding ways to meet the needs of their community with compassion, dignity, and care.
Every mile we run represents our commitment to helping Boston Community Pediatrics continue this incredible work.
If you're able, please consider making a donation. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps Boston Community Pediatrics provide essential medical care and vital community resources to children and families who need them most.
Description
The current reality of pediatric healthcare is that children with low income are 3x more likely to have an unmet health need and have an increased risk of chronic illness. In fact, nearly 40% of BCP patients have been diagnosed with one or more chronic illnesses, from asthma to depression. And children face a 23-year life expectancy difference between Roxbury and Back Bay, just two miles apart, in our very own city. BCP knows Boston can, and must, do better.
When a family walks through BCP's doors, they receive more than outstanding medical care; they find a community. From integrated behavioral health care and nutrition support to parenting groups, after-school programs, and one-on-one care navigation assistance, BCP wraps care around the whole child, meeting families where they are and standing with them every step of the way. And BCP provides all this support regardless of families’ ability to pay.
You make it possible. Powered by your generous giving, BCP is able to drive innovation and set a new standard for pediatric primary care, all by putting the needs of patients before the interests of payors.
For each of BCP's patients, the difference is palpable. As one BCP mom shared: “Imagine a world where caring doctors and a supportive team are actually by your side, ready to help with anything. [BCP has] been an anchor for me and my children, helping us navigate challenges and bringing immense peace of mind. As a mother, BCP's presence is more valuable than words can express.”
I am running the 54th annual Falmouth Road Race to go the extra mile, literally, for BCP patients and their families. Every dollar I raise supports BCP’s ability to reimagine pediatric care, ensuring that BCP can continue to provide the highest-quality primary care, mental health care, and care navigation and wellness support for all families, regardless of their circumstances. Your gift fuels this crucial work at an especially challenging moment for children with low income in this country. Together, we can change the way healthcare is delivered to all children.
