Meet our incredible occupational therapy team, who work both inpatient at BMC and outpatient across our 3 clinics in the Boston area.

Our occupational therapists work with patients who are experiencing neurological or orthopedic conditions that limit their ability to engage in meaningful tasks. The team also fabricates custom splints and administers evidenced-based protocols after surgery to help restore movement, strength, and function.

We offer individualized treatment that celebrates the uniqueness of each patient. At BMC, we recognize a key principle of occupational therapy: if it matters to you, it matters to us!

Help us celebrate our occupational therapists in the comments. Learn more about the team: https://bit.ly/4vONu9L

Black residents in Boston are dying sooner than any other group in the city, according to a new report from the Boston Public Health Commission.

Dr. Thea James, VP of Mission at BMC, calls on institutions across Boston to help strengthen the economic and social conditions that influence health.

"Addressing the structural drivers of health is not charity. It is a practical, evidence-based strategy to improve health outcomes, reduce avoidable suffering, and lower the long-term costs of care."

This week, we're spotlighting the amazing volunteers that help our staff and patients everyday.

Volunteers assist the BMC community with services that support the hospital's mission. These include visiting with patients in geriatrics, welcoming people to the campus and helping them find their way, rolling an entertainment cart filled with books, and so much more!

Special thanks to our volunteer, Owen Devlin, for gathering quotes and telling each person's unique story. Learn more about volunteering at BMC: https://bit.ly/4d2VaO8

BMC’s commitment to sustainability helps to make communities healthier for everyone. This Earth Day, we celebrate BMC’s innovative sustainability initiatives. Working with Takeda as part of a three-year collaboration, BMC spent the past year understanding waste produced in two of our pharmacies and an infusion center.

HealthCity spoke with Anna Goldman, MD, MPH, MPA, primary care physician and medical director of sustainability at BMC, and Johanna Jobin, Global Head of Environmental Sustainability & Compliance at Takeda, about the industry-leading project, a year one report of the findings, and long-term goals to improve environmental and patient health: https://bit.ly/3QTyyqG

When Jeff Doss was treated for tonsil cancer in Maine, high-dose radiation cured his cancer—but left him with severe tissue damage. He couldn’t swallow, needed a feeding tube, and began experiencing life-threatening bleeding. After multiple hospitalizations, Jeff was placed in a medically induced coma on December 2, 2025. “We were told he would never swallow again, and he might not make it.”

Days later, his care team found hope: Dr. Sarah C. Nyirjesy, a head and neck surgeon at Boston Medical Center, agreed to take his case and Jeff was airlifted to BMC. Dr. Nyirjesy met with the family that first night. “She spent over an hour with us that first night, explaining everything. I just can’t believe what a a phenomenally gifted surgeon she is.”

Jeff underwent multiple complex surgeries, including a laryngectomy and reconstructive procedures. In total, Jeff spent nearly 50 hours in surgery and required 34 units of blood. “From vascular surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery, anesthesiology, the pain team, the phenomenal nursing staff and residents… it was such a group effort,” says Mary Ann.

Jeff continues to recover and hopes to return to work. Though he is still learning to speak through a voice prosthesis, his message is clear: “Whatever you have to deal with, you have to use the cards you’re dealt. Get a second opinion. And don’t ever quit.”

Earlier today, BMC’s Curbside Care van made a special visit to Causeway Street – the home of the Boston Celtics! Generously supported by the Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation (Celtics Community), with funding from Tufts Health Plan, BMC’s Curbside Care brings postpartum and newborn care directly to the doorstep of families in Boston.

Boston Celtics President Rich Gotham, Senior Vice President Mackenzie Henderson, Senior Director of Community Programs Kash Cannon, and more Boston Celtics employees toured and learned more about BMC’s innovative mobile health unit from Curbside Care team members Rosha Forman, MSN, CNM, and Melissa Nass, MD, MPH.
