South Cove Community Health Center

South Cove Community Health Center is located on South Street in Boston, Massachusetts. The center offers comprehensive health services to the primarily Asian immigrant community in this area. Additionally, they offer behavioral health services and counseling for substance use disorder (SUD). You can pay with private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

One of the unique things this health center does is focus on improving the health of the underserved in Massachusetts, especially non English speaking Asian Americans. The programs are culturally and linguistically competent for the Asian American community.

Their behavioral health services include individual counseling, couples therapy and family counseling. They provide medication management for clients using psychotherapeutic medications. If you need more intensive SUD treatment, they can refer you to their affiliate Beth Israel Lahey Health at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center only three miles away.

The leading causes of death in this community are cancer, tuberculosis, and hepatitis B/C. I think it’s great that they put a special emphasis on diagnosing and treating these diseases.

They help new immigrants navigate healthcare through their extensive social services department. Additionally, they offer dental, OB/GYN, pediatrics, radiology, family medicine and optometry care.
