Let's Talk About Vaccines

You may have heard about recent outbreaks of measles, which the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) said was gone in 2000. It’s definitely back with over 1,000 cases in the United States over the past two years.

“I’ve been practicing long enough to know what it was like when babies didn’t get vaccinated,” said Dr. Greg Hagan, Chief of Pediatrics at CHA and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School.

Transgender, Gender and Sexuality Support

It can be hard to find providers who understand what it feels like to be a different gender from the one assigned at birth.

Let us help

Gender and Sexuality Clinic for Youth

If your child or adolescent needs support with their gender and sexuality, check out CHA’s Gender and Sexuality Clinic. Our Child and Adolescent Psychiatry team offers therapy for sexual and gender minority (SGM) children, adolescents and their families. It offers LGBTQ+ affirming support for people to explore and/or discuss their sexuality and gender with professionals who care deeply about serving this community. It also offers connections with interdisciplinary teams including LGBTQ+ affirming providers to make sure that our LGBTQ+ patients and families receive supportive and affirming healthcare throughout CHA. Contact your Care Center to help you connect with Elizabeth Baumann, PhD and get more information.

No matter what you or your family is going through, we’re here to help.

A National Seal of Approval for Complex Care

Healthcare can be challenging– especially for people with complex conditions. That’s why CHA has Care Managers who help patients needing extra support maintain their health.

This summer, the National Committee for Quality Assurance recognized this work by giving us a three-year accreditation for Care Management services. This was particularly noteworthy for a first-time applicant!

We’re excited to support our patients in this way and to be recognized with a national seal of approval. Learn more.
