Boston Evening Clinic is a medical clinic in Newton Centre, MA. The organization operates as a foundation dedicated to providing grant funding for organizations in Greater Boston that serve the medical needs of low-income individuals, their families, and the elderly.
The foundation carries forward the legacy of Dr. Morris Cohen, who founded the original clinic in 1927 to provide medical, surgical, and mental healthcare for the working poor during evening hours. While the clinic previously operated as a community health center and expanded services to include daytime hours for elderly and low-income residents, the medical practice was acquired by Massachusetts General Hospital in 1998. Following the cessation of direct patient care, the Boston Evening Clinic Foundation was established by the Board of Directors to continue the original mission through the distribution of grants to other charitable healthcare organizations.
The clinic is located on Beacon Street in Newton Centre, situated near the intersection of Walnut Street in the Four Corners neighborhood. The location is a short distance from the Wilson Conservation Area and the Newtonville Historic District.
The foundation is recognized for its deep historical roots and its commitment to supporting the healthcare needs of the community. It stands as a torchbearer for a long-standing mission of service that has supported the Boston area for nearly a century.
Through its dedicated grant-making efforts, the Boston Evening Clinic Foundation remains a vital supporter of healthcare accessibility for vulnerable populations throughout the Newton Centre area and Greater Boston.
