Benefitting Codman Square Health Center
Since 1996, Men of Boston Cook for Women’s Health has been raising vital funds to support women’s health programming at Codman Square Health Center. So much has changed since we launched back then, but we are proud to say that some things have stayed the same. We still have the same strong commitment to innovative and comprehensive women’s health, we still hold the event under the gala tent in front of the Health Center (except, of course, this year due to COVID-19), and Above and Beyond Catering remains our loyal (and delicious) caterer. We are Boston’s longest running on-site fundraising event and we look forward to an in-person event in 2021!
Because 2020 has brought so many challenges and changes to health care, this year we are raising funds to continue to serve our community through the COVID pandemic. Since it arrived in early spring, we have had to completely revamp the way we delivered care in so many ways.
- We had to introduce COVID-19 care, screening, testing, and so many new safety procedures.
- When Dorchester became one of the hardest hit neighborhoods in the state, we brought the testing to community housing, parks, and other locations.
- When children were not making it to routine appointments, we found a way to bring the medical care and immunizations to them via a Mobile Pediatric Well-Child van.
- We learned how to deliver care to patients remotely, doing phone calls, video visits, and sending medical equipment to people’s homes, when necessary.
- We changed our check-in processes to allow social distancing.

COVID has been a challenge for sure, but it’s a challenge we are up for and have been meeting head on. Your donation will enable us to continue this work!
