Boston Evening Clinic Foundation Inc
The Boston Evening Clinic Foundation Inc is a private foundation based in Newton, Massachusetts, established to continue the legacy of the Boston Evening Clinic. Founded in 1927 by Dr. Morris Cohen, the original clinic provided medical, surgical, and mental healthcare for working poor individuals during evening hours. When the clinic's medical practice was acquired by Massachusetts General Hospital in 1998, the foundation was created by the clinic's Board of Directors to carry forward its mission through grantmaking rather than direct patient care.
