Boston Medical Center
Moakley Building, Boston, MA
Since the 1996 merger between Boston City Hospital and Boston University Hospital that created Boston Medical Center (BMC), the hospital has sought to create a cohesive medical campus that optimizes efficiencies and is thoughtfully integrated into the abutting institutional, commercial, and residential neighborhood. This consolidated cancer care center advances the hospital’s mission to provide "exceptional care without exception" by streamlining access to state-of-the-art services for some of Boston's most vulnerable residents.
