Message from our CEO

To Our Community Members,

Let me start by offering a simple but sincere thank you. Our community has supported the lifesaving work we do at Fenway Health for more than fifty years, enabling us to evolve from an all-volunteer clinic in a tiny basement to the world-class, internationally recognized center of excellence for LGBTQIA+ health care that we are today. Thank you for making this possible.

To say that the American health care system is facing challenging times would be an understatement. During the past year, hospitals and community health centers nationwide – including Fenway Health – have faced an unprecedented shortage of nursing professionals, primary care providers, and behavioral health specialists. At the same time, the lingering COVID-19 pandemic, higher-than normal demand for our care and services, and the emergence of the mpox epidemic placed increased demand for prevention and treatment services in Boston and beyond.

I am proud of Fenway Health’s response to these and other challenges over the past year. Our innovative, resilient, and talented staff provided the highest quality care and services, serving nearly 35,000 patients and clients who made more than 171,000 visits. This included over 5,000 people who identify as transgender or gender diverse, and over 2,700 who are living with HIV.

Over the past year, scientists and researchers at The Fenway Institute conducted early stage studies of several experimental HIV vaccine and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) treatments that hold enormous potential to halt the transmission of HIV. Institute researchers also led studies concerning COVID-19 prevention, transgender health care, smoking cessation, HIV care, and more.

Our education and training team led comprehensive trainings and conferences that address a wide range of LGBTQIA+ health topics throughout the U.S. This included the groundbreaking Advancing Excellence in Transgender Health Conference, the one-of-a-kind Advancing Excellence in Sexual and Gender Minority Health Education: A Train-the-Trainer Course for All Healthcare Professionals, and a new four-year initiative funded by HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau titled The Innovative Intervention Strategies Coordinating Center for Technical Assistance.

Fenway Health remains as deeply committed to our mission today as we have been since the beginning: to advocate for and deliver innovative, equitable, accessible health care, supportive services, and transformative research and education that centers LGBTQIA+ people, BIPOC individuals, and other underserved communities. Thank you for being a part of our mission, our work, and our impact.
