Retired with no family, Keith had nowhere to go and was K unsure where to turn for help with finding a new place to live. When he explained his situation during a routine doctor’s appointment at Boston Medical Center, his doctor gave him a referral to the hospital’s Elders Living at Home Program (ELAHP). Kip Langello, program manager for the Elders Living at Home Program, sees many cases just like Keith’s each year. Older adults are the fastest growing segment of the homeless population. A recent report from the Boston Housing Authority (BHA) cites that four in 10 Boston seniors live in households with total annual incomes less than $25,000. These low-income seniors find themselves unable to pay ever-increasing rents or are unexpectedly forced out of their affordable rentals due to sales. It is an emerging problem as the cost of living continues to rise in the city, leaving vulnerable elders overwhelmed and afraid. “We work with many partners in the community to quickly re-house homeless adults or help stabilize older adults who are at risk of Keith faced homelessness after his sister passed away and the house they eviction,” explains Langello. “From legal experts to behavioral shared went up for sale.

For the third year, the team returned to Carson Beach for the Columbia Threadneedle Investments Boston Triathlon, raising more than $85,000. However, Team BMC’s triathletes weren’t the only ones swimming, biking and running in support of BMC’s addiction programs and services. BMC also served as the race’s charity partner, allowing any participant to raise critical funds—a momentous move towards building awareness and reducing stigma around substance use disorders (SUDs).

After wrapping up the summer, the team swapped sneakers for bicycles with September’s Rodman Ride for Kids. Eighty-nine riders took on the 25-100 mile course for the tenth year in a row, surpassing the $237,000 fundraising mark for Boston’s youngest and most vulnerable patients—including those affected by SUDs. Team BMC also added two new races to its roster this fall: Shatterproof Rise Up Against Addiction 5K Walk/Run as well as Mike’s 5K to Crush Substance Abuse. Both races offer more opportunities for the community to participate in the fight against addiction and to make a difference by enhancing substance use treatment programs and providing more well-rounded support to BMC’s patients.

Helping Children Thrive with a New Center

To help establish health equity for all children, the department has formed the Center for the Urban Child and Healthy Family. “We believe that all children should have an equal opportunity to be healthy, ready to learn, and to achieve their full potential,” says Megan Bair-Merritt, M.D., M.S.C.E., the Center’s executive director. “But pediatric care delivery is often based on what we did many years ago and doesn’t reflect the challenges families face today. Our Center is reinventing pediatric care for families facing adversity, with the goal of achieving health equity for families.” Aligned with BMC’s Vision 2030 of making Boston the healthiest urban population in the world, the Center has a set a goal that from and what community supports are contraception, and mentorship and by 2028 all children cared for by BMC available, to ultimately find the best ways to peer counseling for mothers.
