3. MGH is committed to the community. At the core of MGH’s mission is improving the health and wellbeing of the diverse communities it serves. The hospital has been awarded esteemed community service honors in healthcare, including the 2015 Foster G. McGaw Prize for Excellence in Community Service. In 2017, Chelsea CHC received the RWJF Culture of Health Prize honoring communities for efforts to ensure all residents live healthier lives. Residents and fellows have many opportunities to work closely with the Center for Community Health Improvement and serve as mentors for underserved youth. Our Disparities Solution Center is an international leader in promoting equitable care; the MGH Annual Report on Equity in Healthcare Quality monitors key components of quality by race, ethnicity and language.

4. MGH cares for a diverse patient population. 13% of MGH’s inpatients and 18% of our Primary Care outpatients are African American or Hispanic/Latino. MGH cares for patients from over 140 countries, and each year our Medical Interpreter Services provide over 150,000 interpretations in 128 different languages, including American Sign Language (ASL.) Our Chelsea CHC patient population is very diverse: 50% of patients are Latino, 9% are Black, and 30% indicate Spanish as their preferred language. Our Chelsea, Charlestown and Revere CHCs support communities where 20% of the residents have incomes below the poverty level, 30% are foreign born and 40% speak languages other than English at home.

5. Equity, diversity and inclusion are priorities for MGH.
