Immigrant & Refugee Health Center at BMC

Boston is proud to be home to the 3rd largest Haitian population in the U.S. We celebrate all of you, your culture, & your history with today’s flag raising! Thank you @Ruthzee & @BostonOEOI for organizing today’s Haitian Flag Day celebration & bringing our communities together.

On Haitian Flag Day 🇭🇹, we celebrate Haitian independence. We're #BMCProud to be a sponsor of this Sunday’s Haitian Unity Parade. Join us in Harambee Park @ 1 p.m. & meet our teams, including: 🌟 Maternal Child Health 🌟 WellSense Health Plan 🌟 Behavioral Health 🌟 And more!

Today is HIV Vaccine Awareness Day, a day recognizing everyone who is working to find a safe and effective vaccine to prevent HIV. This, along with existing HIV treatment and prevention strategies, would help achieve the goal of ending the HIV epidemic. #HVAD #EndHIVEpidemic #HIV

Boston stands in solidarity with our Jewish communities & condemns all acts of anti-semitism. We will continue to work with residents & community partners to build a Boston free from anti-semitism, where our Jewish community—& all our communities—feel safe, seen & celebrated.
