Harbor provides medical, behavioral health, dental, and support services to more than 34,000 patients in Boston, the South Shore, and Cape Cod.
The Harbor Health Services story spans over five decades.
Dr. Jack Geiger and Dr. Count Gibson founded the first community health centers in the nation in one urban and one rural community. Dr. Geiger’s vision sought to confront abject poverty and medical
disenfranchisement. He believed a health center would not only provide much needed medical relief and social services, but also a path toward community empowerment and direct citizen action.
