MIT Medical has been serving members of the MIT community and their families for more than 100 years. Today, we offer a single, centralized source for all your health care needs, including comprehensive health insurance, care and treatment at our own medical centers, and an extensive roster of health promotion programs.

Students, affiliates, staff, faculty, and post-doctoral fellows all have convenient, on-campus access to a broad range of clinical services and medical specialties, each delivered by highly qualified physicians, nurse practitioners, psychologists, physician assistants, social workers, and other health care professionals.

Our staff's involvement in campus life makes it possible to offer highly personalized health care, continually informed by issues unique to the MIT community. And through our affiliations with Boston's leading hospitals, clinicians are able to refer patients with more serious conditions to the best specialists available.

Over the years, we've found that flexible health plans, personal care, and our own expert medical staff are essential to keeping the people around us in good health. It's a vision of all-inclusive health care made possible by our long history of designing services exclusively for the MIT community.

JCAHO Accreditation
Throughout the years, MIT Medical has received accreditation by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) by demonstrating compliance with the Joint Commission's national standards for healthcare quality and safety. MIT Medical received its most recent accreditation—the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organization's Gold Seal of Approval—in October 2005. This accreditation is for a three-year period ending in October 2008.

Founded in 1951, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations' goal is to continuously improve the safety and quality of care provided to the public through the provision of healthcare accreditation. An independent, not-for-profit organization, the Joint Commission is the nation's oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in healthcare. Beginning in 2006, site visits by the Joint Commission are unannounced.

MIT Medical continually works to enhance quality and safety for our patients. MIT Medical patients may contact the Joint Commission's Office of Quality Monitoring to report any concerns or register complaints about a Joint Commission-accredited health care organization by either calling 1-800-994-6610 or emailing complaint@jcaho.org.
