My team
Boston Community Pediatrics (BCP) is the first nonprofit pediatric private practice in Massachusetts.
The Riseberg Family is once again running the Falmouth Road Race in support of Boston Community Pediatrics and the children and families we are honored to serve.
BCP was inspired by our own family's belief that every child deserves the kind of care we would want for our own children. Emma and Rachel are once again joining their mom, Robyn, BCP's Founder, to reimagine pediatric healthcare. Together, they are running to ensure that every child has access to exceptional primary care, integrated mental health care, care navigation, and wellness supports—regardless of their family's circumstances.
At a time when healthcare and the social service safety net are facing unprecedented challenges, BCP remains steadfast in advancing a different vision for pediatric care: one that begins with trust, centers the dignity of every family, and recognizes that health is shaped by far more than what happens in an exam room. Every day, we work to ensure that children and families receive the comprehensive care and support they need to thrive.
Your gift fuels this work at a critical moment for children and families with low incomes. Together, we can build a healthier, more equitable future and demonstrate that a better model of pediatric healthcare is possible.
Thank you for supporting Team Riseberg and Team BCP!
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.
