what we do

In recognition of the growing need for access to basic health care for those communities that are uninsured or underinsured in the MetroWest and Greater Boston area, Gratis Healthcare provides free medical and mental health services to those in need.  By using volunteer clinicians in multiple specialties with Portuguese and Spanish interpreters, we aim to remove barriers to basic health care and strive to connect patients to the Massachusetts health care system and community resources.

From 2018 to today, our volunteers have provided care to over 3000 patients through more than 3500 encounters.
