Urgent Care in Boston, MA

Boston is the capital of Massachusetts and the largest city in New England, home to about 675,000 residents in the city proper and 4.9 million in the Greater Boston metropolitan area. Founded in 1630, it is one of the oldest cities in the United States and a global hub for education, healthcare, biotechnology, and finance. Boston is defined by its historic neighborhoods — Back Bay, Beacon Hill, North End, Fenway, South End, Dorchester — and its concentration of world-class universities including Harvard (just across the Charles River in Cambridge), MIT, Boston University, Boston College, Northeastern, and Tufts. The Freedom Trail, Fenway Park, Faneuil Hall, and the Boston Common anchor a compact, walkable downtown served by the oldest subway system in North America (the MBTA 'T').

Boston is arguably the most medically intensive city in the country. Longwood Medical Area alone houses Brigham and Women's Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston Children's Hospital, and Harvard Medical School. Mass General Brigham (parent of Mass General and Brigham and Women's) is the largest employer in Massachusetts. Other major systems include Beth Israel Lahey Health, Tufts Medicine, Boston Medical Center (the city's safety-net hospital), and Cambridge Health Alliance. Walk-in urgent care is provided by Mass General Brigham Urgent Care, CareWell Urgent Care, AFC Urgent Care, GoHealth Urgent Care (partnered with Tufts Medicine), MinuteClinic at CVS, Concentra, and Atrius Health's Dedham Medical Associates.
