Primary Medical Care
Every medical patient at Fenway Health works with a primary care team, which includes a primary care provider and a registered nurse who are actively involved in your care. You may select a primary care provider at the main Health Center (1340 Boylston Street) or at South End Associates of Fenway Health (142 Berkeley Street). Depending upon your preference, your primary care provider may be a physician, physician's assistant, or nurse practitioner. You may request a male or female provider or a Spanish-speaking provider.
Your provider serves as a team leader and coordinates all routine medical care: exams, lab tests, medical imaging, diagnosis, and treatment. In addition, your provider is concerned about emotional and lifestyle factors—such as stress, diet, substance abuse, or high-risk sexual behavior—that affect your health.
Specialty Care/Referrals
Your Fenway Health provider may refer you to medical specialists at the Health Center. Areas of specialty include infectious disease, gynecology, psychiatry, gerontology, dermatology, nutrition, and podiatry. If a required specialty is not available at Fenway, your provider will refer you to a specialist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center or through the CareGroup network.
If you would like to request a referral from your PCP to a specialist, please gather the following information:
- Your name, phone number and date of birth
- The name of your Primary Care Provider
- The name of the specialist you are requesting an appointment with
- The specialist's hospital, phone number and fax number
- Your insurance carrier and insurance ID #
- Date of next appointment
- Reason for referral
