COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS VS ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTERS 2

Academic medical centers and community hospital both serve a vital role in communities

– that of providing primary healthcare. What differentiates academic medical centers from

community hospitals is their three-dimensional mission of education, research, and healthcare.

This article seeks to compare these two institutions, by examining one organization under each

category:

Comparing Boston University Medical Campus to South Boston Community Health

Center

The Boston University Medical Campus (BUMC) was set up to offer both education and

healthcare services to the community. The institution has over time developed initiatives whose

main focus is to help high school students make the right career choices in the medical field. It

offers them not only educational opportunities but also a place to practice what they learn, thus

preparing them for field practice.

South Boston Community Health Center was founded in 1972 with the aim of offering

healthcare services to the community at large, especially to those who need specialized care the

most.

Mission

BUMC’s core mission is “training the next generation of physicians, dentists, and scientists.”

(BUMC)

South Boston Community Health Center’s mission is “to provide accessible, high-quality care to

all patients, regardless of status and ability to pay.” (SBCHC)
