Message from our CEO

To Our Community Members,

Over the past year, Fenway Health marked its 50th anniversary in two ways that we expect will be remembered and remarked upon 50 years from now.

First, we applied five decades’ worth of knowledge and expertise gained in the provision of healthcare, study of science, and advocacy for health equity to the global fight against COVID-19:

Our scientists and researchers ran a Phase 3 clinical trial of the Astra Zeneca COVID-19 vaccine and participated in the CoVPN 3502 COVID-19 antibody study to learn more about how antibodies can be used to potentially stop the spread of COVID-19. We partnered with other community-based organizations to ensure that participants in our research studies were racially diverse and representative of the communities we serve.
We launched a free COVID-19 testing site in Boston for our patients and a second one in Everett, open by appointment to anyone. We partnered with the state’s Community Tracing Collaborative on COVID-19 infection contact tracing, and our team brought multilingual Spanish, Vietnamese, and Portuguese capacity as well as experience working with LGBTQIA+ communities to that effort.
Our policy experts advocated for sexual orientation and gender identity data collection in COVID-19 testing and vaccination at the local, state, and federal level, and gained support from the Massachusetts state legislature’s Health Equity Task Force.

Second, we laid the foundation for success over our next 50 years by approving an ambitious strategic plan that centers racial equity and social justice in Fenway’s operations, care, and services; advances health equity among those Fenway serves; and pushes to dismantle and redesign systems that deprive BIPOC and other underserved people of the opportunity to be healthy and thrive.

We have set ourselves on a path to achieving these goals by hiring a new Chief Operating Officer, Executive Vice President of Racial Equity and Social Justice, Vice President of Communications, and Vice President of Resource Development and Donor Engagement who bring a wealth of professional acumen and lived experience to our executive management team.
We joined a broad coalition of health care providers, LGBTQIA+ advocacy groups, and patients as a plaintiff in an historic lawsuit challenging a decision by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to eliminate the broad protections against discrimination in healthcare that were put in place by the Affordable Care Act. Those protections had prohibited discrimination against LGBTQIA+ people; people who seek or have obtained reproductive health care, including abortion and other pregnancy-related treatment; patients with limited-English proficiency, immigrants; and people living with HIV and other chronic illnesses. We were compelled and proud to take a stand on behalf of some of the most marginalized and at-risk members of our community, advancing a core principle at the heart of our mission – that all people deserve access to care, and that LGBTQIA+ people are entitled to the same rights as all others in our society.

Through it all, our staff has continued to meet the needs of the people who count on us, and to deliver on our mission. By expanding our telehealth program to ensure continuity of care during the COVID-19 public health emergency, we were able to care for more than 34,000 patients in 38 states, and earned recognition from the U.S. Health Resources & Service Administration for being one of just 36 community health centers in the country that exceed national clinical quality benchmarks for chronic disease management and preventive care.

The year was enormously challenging, to be sure, and it called upon us to dig deep. But we were made for times like these. Our experience has affirmed that Fenway Health is just as nimble, resilient, creative, and innovative today as we were 50 years ago—and will be 50 years from now. When committed, resourceful people of good will come together in service to a common vision, anything is possible.

Thank you for being part of the Fenway Health community.

STRATEGIC PLAN &
RACIAL EQUITY ACTION PLAN

Centering racial equity is critical to the mission of Fenway Health. We were founded to serve under-resourced and marginalized communities, and advocacy is a core component of our mission. We know that we need to do more to center racial equity and social justice in everything we do and to work to undo disparities and inequities that exist in the services we provide, the people we reach, and the outcomes we achieve.

We have committed to taking the necessary actions that will ensure that our entire organization is engaged in racial equity and social justice service delivery and practice. Everyone within our organization will be involved in this work – our Board of Directors, organizational leadership, staff, and volunteers – and we are focused on how we engage our patients, clients, and community partners as well.

As part of these efforts, we unveiled a new mission statement, Strategic Plan, and Racial Equity Action Plan at our virtual Spring Board of Visitors Meeting and [email protected] Annual Meeting. They were the culmination of a year-long effort evaluating our work and focusing the lens of racial justice on all of our upcoming initiatives.

At our 2021 Annual Meeting, Fenway Health unveiled our new mission statement, 5-year Strategic Plan, and Racial Equity Action Plan, all designed to make us a more just and equitable organization.

We are committed to becoming an antiracist organization. We know that we are only at the beginning of this journey. Our work will be ongoing, multidimensional, incremental, and ultimately transformative.

Over time, we will begin to look and act different: Leadership will change; How we design, implement, and evaluate our care models, research, advocacy, and services will change; The people who come to count on us, who want to work with us, who support us will change; and ultimately, Lives will change.

Holding Ourselves Accountable

Fenway Health’s Racial Equity Action plan lays out ambitious but achievable goals for the first 12 months; the next 18-30 months; and then 36-60 months. When we announced our commitment to becoming an anti-racist organization, we promised to be transparent and provide regular updates on our work and accomplishments along the way. One of the ways we will do that is on our , which we encourage everyone to visit. We’ll also be talking about this work on our blog and in messages to our staff, patients, and community from our CEO, Board Chair, and others as we continue this work.

FENWAY TURNS 50!

“No organization succeeds without providing solid answers to questions about its mission and how to achieve it. This is an organization that began by offering free health care for all, insisting that “health care is a right, not a privilege.” To fulfill this promise, it relied on donated services by doctors and other volunteers. Today, Fenway Health is one of Boston’s largest community health centers.

Diverse people have always come to this place, many of them consuming and designing health care that they believed was truly theirs for the first time in their lives. Together, these people found ways to collaborate at a medical facility that works for all. They responded to a crisis, partially prepared but always completely focused, and succeeded in impressive fashion. In a variety of ways, these people and this place give us insight into how national human service programs move from the president’s pen to neighborhood reality. And it gives us an education by real example of the answers to a series of unique questions that were at times highly predictable, and at others, completely unexpected.”

Thomas Martorelli, former Fenway Board Chair and author of For People, Not For Profit, a history of Fenway Health.

In 2021, Fenway Health celebrated 50 years of caring for our community. Founded in 1971 in the basement of a Massachusetts Avenue building owned by the Christian Science Church, Fenway now operates three clinical sites, three public health locations, and a resale thrift store chain that helps support our operations.

Originally started as a one day a week drop-in center operated by volunteer medical students, we now offer medical, behavioral health, dental and eye care, two pharmacy locations, and a number of specialized services including our Violence Recovery Program, Transgender Health, HIV and STI testing and prevention, LGBTQIA+ parenting and alternative insemination services, radiology, and COVID-19 testing, vaccinations, and care. The Fenway Institute operates biomedical, behavioral health, population level research studies, public policy and advocacy programs, and a training and education division. You can learn more about our history here.

Celebrating Our 50th Birthday

To help commemorate our 50^th birthday year, Fenway held a free virtual gala celebration on April 28, 2021. The event featured Dr. Anthony Fauci as our keynote speaker and to look back at our successes and forward to the future. The night was a resounding success, with hundreds of attendees and a silent auction and fundraising challenge that raised more than $345,000 to support care and services at Fenway Health.

Weren’t able to attend? No worries! You can watch the whole thing, including Dr. Fauci’s speech, here. (Note: Program begins around the 42 minute mark).

As part of the program, we put together four videos highlighting our work and history.

RESPONSE TO COVID-19

The first COVID-19 case was diagnosed in the United States on January 20, 2020 and by March of that year, the pandemic had spread across the country, including to Massachusetts. Fenway Health was quick to respond and you can read more about our efforts in those early months here. Our work to care for our patients, staff, and communities continued into fiscal year 2021.

Fenway continued to expand our telehealth program while also bringing patients back onsite for important in-person care and services as vaccination became more common and infection rates in Massachusetts fell. To commemorate the one year anniversary of the pandemic, our CEO Ellen LaPointe wrote a blog post reflecting on ways Fenway adapted and continued to care for our patients an communities while also working to address the disparities in health care based on race that COVID laid bare. You can read Ellen’s message here.

The LGBT Aging Project received a grant from the Eastern Bank Charitable Foundation for COVID-19 aid. The Aging Project used this generous funding to help LGBTQIA+ older adults stay connected to their communities and support networks virtually. Many seniors continue to face increased isolation as the pandemic continues to evolve, and having the option to engage with each other through technology like Zoom has become a true lifeline.

We established a specially designed clinic space at our 1340 Boylston Street location that allows us to provide care for people who may be displaying symptoms consistent with COVID-19 or other respiratory illnesses, or who are currently infected with COVID-19. This new space ensures we can safely evaluate and care for patients who also have these symptoms.

During fiscal year 2021, Fenway Health’s COVID-19 testing program continuously evolved to meet the challenges of the pandemic and the weather.

Partnering with the Boston Public Health Commission, our COVID-19 testing was first located in a Boston Public Schools parking lot behind our 1340 Boylston Street location, then in another parking lot a short distance away at Holy Trinity Orthodox Cathedral. As winter weather moved in, we temporarily relocated our testing program to the front of 1340 Boylston Street while we built out a new indoor COVID-19 testing and respiratory symptoms clinic which opened late January of 2021.

Altogether during fiscal year 2021, 6,738 COVID-19 tests were performed by our 1340 Boylston Street testing team.

From July 20 through September 11, 2020, we also partnered with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) to offer COVID-19 testing at several sites around the city of Everett. Through this initiative, we were able to perform an additional 4,203 tests for a total of nearly 11,000 COVID tests during FY21.

On December 22, 2020, the first COVID-19 vaccine doses arrived at Fenway and we began immunizing front line health care and public health staff. Soon after, staff at 1340 Boylston Street and Fenway: South End began vaccinating Fenway Health patients in accordance with the DPH’s vaccination phase guidelines. A few months later we opened up our vaccination program to the general public and added a temporary third vaccine clinic location at 75 Amory Street on the Jamaica Plain/Roxbury border.

As our vaccine efforts continued to expand, we started an ambassador program, enlisting non-medical staff volunteers from across Fenway to help answer patient questions and facilitate the smooth running of the vaccine clinic. This allowed our Patient Services staff members to spend more time on patient outreach and our medical providers to focus entirely on administering vaccinations and caring for our patients.

During fiscal year 2021, we administered 9,062 – 4,694 first or single doses of Moderna or Johnson and Johnson and 4,368 second doses of Moderna.

The Fenway Institute’s vaccine trial experience goes back more than 25 years, when we enrolled the first participants in anti-HIV vaccine trials funded by the National Institutes of Health. Since then, Fenway has run more than a dozen vaccine trials. Because we have a clinical trials research infrastructure in place that includes a team of experienced clinical research staff, an independent ethics review board, and a dedicated community engagement team that can recruit participants from all risk groups, we were asked to join the COVID-19 Prevention Network, the NIH’s consortium to evaluate vaccines and other promising preventive strategies, in the early days of the pandemic.

At the start of the fiscal year, we began recruiting for a study looking at COVID-19 infection and how the body recovers from that infection. A couple of months later, we launched a phase 3 COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial with the COVID-19 Prevention Network and then a monoclonal antibody study hoping to prevent COVID-19 disease among household members of recently diagnosed people. You can listen to more about the science behind the antibody study on our Pride in Your Health podcast.

Fenway partnered with Matrix Medical Network to deploy a mobile health clinic in neighborhoods around greater Boston, making it easier for people who live and work in those communities to participate in clinical trials of investigational COVID-19 vaccines. The goal of the mobile health clinic was to support efforts to ensure that Black and Latinx people are proportionately represented in vaccine clinical trials, as these groups have experienced disproportionately higher rates of COVID-19 infections and fatalities than other racial and ethnic groups.

In January 2021, The Fenway Institute concluded recruitment for the Phase 3 clinical trial of the efficacy of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. Over the course of 10 weeks, the study team recruited 214 participants. Trial participants were 18 or over and came from a wide range of racial and ethnic backgrounds. Participants included people living with HIV and people at increased risk of infection from COVID-19. While the AstraZeneca vaccine has not yet been approved for use in the United States, it is currently being administered to people in other countries around the globe.

At the end of the fiscal year, Fenway launched the Prevent COVID U study, looking at how effective the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine is in protecting against and preventing transmission of COVID-19.

Fenway Health and over 125 organizations called upon the Association of State and Territorial Health Officers to create an inclusive and coordinated plan to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine and to make concerted efforts to reach and establish trust with LGBTQI populations. Additionally, these organizations called upon Association of State and Territorial Health Officers to include the collection of sexual orientation, gender identity, and intersex status data in their vaccine dissemination plan for LGBTQI communities in order to track and respond to issues for these communities.

In July 2020, The 23rd International AIDS Conference – known as AIDS 2020: Virtual – welcomed researchers, physicians, and advocates around the globe for the world’s largest virtual conference on HIV. Douglas Krakower, MD, Adjunct Faculty Member at The Fenway Institute and Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, presented on the “Impact of COVID-19 on HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Care at a Boston Community Health Center,” which looked at how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected PrEP usage and adherence among Fenway Health patients.

As COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials were being launched across the US and around the world, including here at Fenway, we published a blog post and infographic helping to explain COVID-19 vaccine trials and how vaccines work. We mailed the infographic to thousands of people in Boston area neighborhoods with traditionally underserved populations.

Later that year, the world watched as desperately needed COVID-19 vaccines began to reach the public. There are many challenges around new vaccines – research, testing, manufacturing, distribution – that can affect how quickly and effectively mass vaccinations work. But one serious hurdle is not something that can be solved in a lab: building public trust in a new vaccine.

As we have seen in the months since, disinformation around COVID-19, the unprecedented speed by which vaccines were developed and approved, and past abuses against certain communities by the medical industry are all factors contributing to public distrust of and hesitance to receive these new vaccines. To help address this, Dr. Kenneth Mayer, Medical Research Director at Fenway Health and Co-Director of The Fenway Institute, co-authored an article in the American Journal of Public Health outlining the seriousness of this moment and the critical need to reach out to these communities to build back that trust.

In March 2020, Fenway welcomed Ellen LaPointe as our new CEO just as the COVID-19 pandemic rolled across the globe. Fenway Health pivoted to respond, moving the majority of our medical and behavioral health appointments to telehealth, standing up testing programs in Boston and Everett, and activating several COVID-19 research studies.

Fenway: South End

Fenway: South End, a private practice setting for medical and behavioral health care, women’s health, and pharmacy services conveniently located for those who live and work in Boston’s South End and Back Bay neighborhoods.

The Sidney Borum, Jr. Health Center

The Sidney Borum, Jr. Health Center, quality health care for young people ages 12 to 29—many of whom are LGBTQIA+, HIV-positive, living on the streets, using drugs or alcohol, engaging in sex work or gang involved—who may not feel comfortable going anywhere else.

At Fenway, we treat the whole person.

Fenway has helped pioneer a philosophy of integrated care that looks at each patient as a whole person and our staff works as a team to meet the needs of everyone who comes through our doors.

Patient-Centered Medical Care
Fenway Health’s Ansin Building and South End locations are both certified as National Committee for Quality Assurance Level 3 Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMH). The PCMH model of primary care emphasizes care coordination and communication to transform primary care into “what patients want it to be.” In 2016, the Massachusetts Health Policy Commission named Fenway: South End the first practice in the state to achieve Patient-Centered Medical Home PRIME Certification for integrating behavioral health in primary medical care. Fenway’s Ansin Building Practice followed quickly, attaining PRIME Certification in early 2017.

Family Medicine
Fenway Health’s Family Medicine Program has expanded to all of our locations, allowing us to provide services to patients of every age group, from the youngest to the oldest.

Transgender Health
More than 5,100 transgender patients currently receive care at Fenway Health locations, an increase of roughly 4,000 patients since 2007. The Transgender Health Program continues to expand to comprehensively address the needs of our rapidly growing transgender and gender non-conforming patient base.

Women’s Health
Fenway’s Women’s Health Program seeks to meet the healthcare needs of all individuals who identify as women and/or have natal female anatomy, including lesbians, bisexual and transgender women; people who identify as gender non-binary; and people on the transmasculine spectrum. Our obstetrical services care program partners with Beth Israel Lahey Health to provide prenatal care for patients in all stages of pregnancy. The program also offers comprehensive birth control and emergency contraception services.

HIV Testing and Care
Fenway Health has been a community resource and safe space since the early days of the AIDS epidemic. Our health center saw the first HIV/AIDS cases in New England and, in 1985, was awarded the first HIV counseling and testing contract by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Today, Fenway remains one of the largest confidential HIV counseling and testing sites in the state and is New England’s largest provider of outpatient HIV/AIDS care.

In fiscal year 2021, Fenway cared for 2,247 patients living with HIV.
Fenway staff administered over 15,000 HIV tests.
100% of all those who test positive for HIV are triaged into care and services here at Fenway.
6,225 patients seeking HIV tests in fiscal year 2020 identified as men who have sex with men (MSM), with the remainder describing their HIV risks as heterosexual sex, injection drug use or occupational exposure.

Insurance Enrollment
1,286 patients visited our Financial Assistance department. Under Fenway’s health insurance enrollment program, patients without insurance can be enrolled in coverage under MassHealth, Commonwealth Care and Health Safety Net.

Fenway Pharmacy
Approximately $1.4 million in free and discounted medication was given to patients in need by the Fenway pharmacy’s two branches. The pharmacies also offer a free home delivery service for homebound patients and others unable to prick up their medication. Together, the two locations fill well over 500 prescriptions per day.

Alternative Insemination
Over 770 babies have been conceived through Fenway’s Alternative Insemination (AI) Program since its start in 1983, believed to be the first of its kind in the United States. In fiscal year 2021, the AI program saw 28 new pregnancies. In addition to insemination, the AI Program offers social and emotional support for LGBTQIA+ parents and prospective parents through a variety of workshops and groups.

Addiction Recovery and Wellness
3,049 patients were brought into care through Fenway’s Addiction Recovery and Wellness Program, which treats those struggling with substances like alcohol, cocaine and crystal methamphetamine. In 2017, the program added Problem Gambling Services. We never turn anyone away for lack of ability to pay, and many patients in the Program are referred into other services at Fenway.

Violence Recovery Program
332 survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, hate violence and police misconduct were helped by the Violence Recovery Program (VRP) at Fenway Health. The VRP offers individual and group counseling to LGBTQIA+ survivors. VRP staff also conducts outreach and educational sessions to community groups and professional groups about LGBTQIA+ violence issues on a local, state and national level, including providing technical assistance and training to the Boston Police Department, District Attorney’s offices, hospitals, health centers, social service agencies and community and school groups.

Health Navigators
Fenway’s Health Navigators answered 2,652 calls, providing resources, support, and a friendly ear to people from all walks of life.

Conferences

Advancing Excellence in Transgender Health

On October 16–19, 2020, The Division of Education and Training at The Fenway Institute hosted the 6th annual Advancing Excellence in Transgender Health Conference. This year’s conference was held virtually and saw a record number of 578 registrants from 46 US states, Puerto Rico, Belgium, Canada, Mexico, Pakistan, the Philippines, Portugal, and Singapore. This year the conference also included an optional half-day pre-conference for those seeking additional training on the basics of gender-affirming care before the start of the general conference. The conference agenda included a variety of sessions on important topics such as ‘creating an inclusive and affirming environment,’ ‘gender-affirming hormone therapy,’ ‘behavioral health care for transgender and gender-diverse youth and adolescents’ and ‘collecting gender identity data in EHRs.’ The conference also featured four community panels. Attendees were also able to network with each other and the speakers through Q&A sessions, virtual networking events and 1:1 private messaging in the conference platform.

The Evidence-Informed Interventions Coordinating Center for Technical Assistance

In 2021, the Division of Education and Training completed its four-year initiative funded by HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau titled The Evidence-Informed Interventions Coordinating Center for Technical Assistance (E2i CCTA). This project provided support for 25 Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program-funded recipients for the implementation of evidence-informed interventions. Its aim was to facilitate and guide recipients in their efforts to reduce HIV-related health disparities and improve health outcomes, including increasing retention in care, improving treatment adherence, and improving viral suppression for people living with HIV/AIDS.

Milestones in the Fourth Year (August 2020-July 2021) of the project included:

Provided training and technical assistance to all 25 sub-awardee organizations including conducting site visits at all 25 sites.
Hosted a Virtual Learning Session in March 2021 inviting 25 sub-awardee organizations
Completed 25 site narrative reports on the strengths and challenges, lessons learned, and ongoing intervention adaptations.
Assisted sites with collection of data to provide to the Evaluation Center for analysis.
Developed tool kits for ongoing dissemination.

The LGBT Aging Project

In FY21 The LGBT Aging Project rebranded as the LGBTQIA+ Aging Project, consistent with Fenway Health’s expanded definition of the populations we serve. The LGBTQIA+ Aging Project focused much of its FY21 year work on response to COVID 19 and its impact on older alder adults. Staff and volunteers conducted nearly 600 outreach calls to LGBTQIA+ older adults in Massachusetts. The LGBTQIA+ Aging Project also convened a weekly Zoom Drop-In group to reduce social isolation and loneliness. The group met on Thanksgiving and Christmas to reduce isolation. In late 2020, the group expanded to meeting twice weekly, with a total registration of 75 participants. The LGBTQIA+ Aging Project convened monthly summits for a dozen organizations, providing training on virtual programming for LGBTQIA+ older adults so these organizations could improve their efforts to engage with and sustain relationships with LGBTQIA+ older adults. Throughout FY21, the LGBTQIA+ Aging Project conducted 40 trainings, workshops, and webinars for a total of 620 participants including three national and two local conferences. The LGBTQIA+ Aging Project also co-hosted the 10th annual LGBT Elders in an Ever-Changing World Conference, New England’s premier LGBT Aging Conference, for 256 participants (local, national, and international). The LGBTQIA+ Aging Project launched a Transgender and Gender Diverse Engagement Initiative reaching nearly 50 new people between the ages of 50-70. It hosted three bereavement groups for LGBTQIA+ people of all ages who have lost a loved one. In FY21, the LGBTQIA+ Aging Project also continued its leadership on the Massachusetts LGBT Aging Commission.

Partnerships

The Division of Education and Training partnered with many organizations to provide trainings on LGBTQIA+ health. Some of these partners include:

UCLA

Working with theDMH-UCLA Prevention Training Center of Excellence, the Division of Education and Training developed an online learning module that was distributed to staff across Los Angeles County. The course includes case scenarios that staff can use to practice responding to real situations they may encounter.

UPMC

The Division of Education and Training worked with University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) to develop an application process for medical providers to obtain an LGBTQ+ Affirming Provider Designation in their member-facing provider directory including three educational modules. The modules were on “Introduction to Affirmative Care for LGBTQ+ Individuals,” “Health Care for Transgender and Gender Diverse Populations,” and “Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Affirming Documentation and Systems.”

Children’s Omaha

In collaboration with Children’s Omaha, the Division of Education and Training developed an interactive learning module on “Achieving Equity for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) People.”

Biomedical Research

During fiscal year 2021, The Fenway Institute’s Biomedical Research team continued to conduct clinical trials looking at new approaches to preventing HIV infection. As well as expanded to COVID-19 research on infection and transmission. Populations include both Adult and Adolescents. Our recruitment and outreach team has worked to represent Fenway at Pride Events in Massachusetts, World AIDS Day, organizations such as the Multicultural AIDS Coalition, Boston Lesbigay Urban Foundation, MA Commission on Youth, NAGLY, and BAGLY as well as at presentations at local colleges and universities throughout the year. As COVID-19 forced many events to move online, research staff adapted to move their events online and to represent Fenway at virtual events organized by other community organizations.

The Fenway Institute has operated one of the nation’s first federally funded community-based HIV research programs and has been a site for NIAID network research since 1993. As an active site for the HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) and participating in protocols in the HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN).

The Fenway Institute has participated in key HIV prevention efficacy trials that led to internationally significant breakthroughs, such as the iPrEX study, the first to demonstrate the efficacy of PrEP in preventing HIV infection. More recently, we participated in the DISCOVER trial that demonstrated a second oral medication is effective as PrEP and the recently completed HPTN 083, which demonstrated the efficacy of an injectable medication for PrEP for the first time ever. Since March 2020, The Institute has been deployed to work on COVID-19 research as part of the NIH Coronavirus Prevention Network (CoVPN).

Fenway completed the first CoVPN study in January 2021 and is now conducting clinical trials to understand COVID-19 transmission.

Phase I HIV prevention and vaccine studies

HVTN 117
HVTN 117 examines both tolerability and the immune system’s response to a new HIV vaccine. HIV Vaccine study in healthy adults, HIV uninfected, ages 18–50. No longer currently enrolling, in active follow up.

HPTN 089
In 2021, The study activities are complete and pending closure. The study explored 4 HIV antibodies in different combinations. The antibodies in HPTN089 are in the first phase of research; it is not an efficacy trial. Participants receive one infusion and participate in the study for 18 months.

HVTN 124
HVTN 124 examines both tolerability and the immune system’s response to a new HIV vaccine. This vaccine is made using laboratory products that look like HIV to generate an immune response. It is impossible for the vaccine to give someone HIV. Participation for this study includes 12 visits over the course of about 18 months.

HPTN 133
This phase I clinical trial to evaluates the safety and immunogenicity of an HIV-1 MPER peptide liposome vaccine in healthy, HIV-uninfected adult participants. Participants will attend several study visits through Month 12. All activity is completed and unblinding is pending.

HPTN 092
HPTN-092 tests the tolerability, safety, and the immune system’s response to combinations of experimental HIV antibodies. Participants are 18–50 years, HIV uninfected of all genders and sexualities. Actively enrollment is closed, we have one participant in follow up.

Phase 3 HIV prevention and vaccine studies

HPTN 083
Fenway was the only center in New England to enroll participants in HPTN 083, which evaluated injectable cabotegravir given every 8 weeks after 2 loading doses 4 weeks apart compared to daily oral tenofovir/emtricitabine to prevent HIV acquisition in MSM and transgender women. The initial study demonstrated the superiority of injectable cabotegravir, which led to FDA approval, and participants are now being followed to see if the prevention benefit is maintained over time.

HVTN 706
Currently we are enrolling for a Phase 3 HIV Vaccine study called MOSAICO testing for the safety and efficacy of an investigational vaccine. MOSAICO is the third HIV vaccine efficacy trial in progress worldwide. This trial will enroll 3,800 HIV-negative men and transgender people aged 18 to 60 years who have sex with men and/or transgender people. Clinical research sites are in the US, Argentina, Brazil, Italy, Mexico, Peru, Poland, and Spain. Enrollment has recently closed.

Project AMP
Project AMP studied whether a broadly neutralizing antibody (bnAb) called VRC01 was effective at preventing the acquisition of HIV strains that were sensitive to the bnAb. This was assessed by a laboratory test that measures a virus’ susceptibility to neutralization by an antibody. Although overall, the use of the antibody did not protect against HIV in the primary analysis, a subset of patients with viral strains that were more susceptible to neutralization by the antibody achieved some protection from HIV infection. This finding is helping to inspire studies of combinations of antibodies that may provide better protection against HIV.

Coronavirus Prevention Studies

Observational

HVTN 405

The purpose of this study is to learn more about infection with and recovery from the virus called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Some people know this virus by the name “coronavirus.” It can cause the disease called COVID-19. The information gained from the study will be used to help develop better tests for SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 disease and may help in developing future vaccines and treatments by allowing researchers to determine the difference between the body’s immune response to natural SARS-CoV-2 infection and immunization with a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Enrollment is closed and all study activities at our site have been completed.

Prevention

CoVPN 3002
The COVID-19 Vaccine study is testing how safe and effective the vaccine is in protecting against COVID-19. Participants may be eligible if they are 18 years or older and have tested negative for COVID-19. There are 10 or more visits over the span of 1-2 years. Enrollment closed, active follow up with over 200 participants.

CoVPN 3502
The COVID-19 Household study is testing how safe and effective the treatment is in protecting people against COVID-19 exposure. Participants may be eligible if they are 18 years or older and have tested negative for COVID-19. There are 12 visits over the span of 10 months. Enrollment closed, active follow up 7 people completed.

CoVPN 3006
PreventCOVIDU is a study across the US to learn whether the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine stops the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus: both getting infected — even without symptoms — and spreading it to others. Participants may be eligible if they are 18–29 years old and have tested negative for COVID-19. There are 5 visits over the span of 5 months. The study is actively enrolling.

Youth and Adolescent Studies

MyChoices
The MyChoices study is an intervention investigating the feasibility and acceptability of MyChoices, a theory-driven mobile app to increase HIV testing and PrEP uptake by young men who have sex with men (YMSM), ages 15-24. The MyChoices app was refined in theater testing and an open technical pilot. The acceptability and feasibility of the updated app was evaluated in a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) among YMSM at risk for HIV acquisition in the US. Phase III (RCT) opened to accrual in October 2018 and participant follow-up completed in November 2019. The cohort was fully enrolled with 60 participants on April 2019.

LifeSteps for PrEP for Youth
The ATN’s LSPY protocol entails a two-phase study exploring PrEP adherence through a Cognitive Behavior Therapy based intervention. The first phase includes individual, qualitative interviews with approximately 20 YMSM and 10 key informants for intervention adaptation and refinement. The second phase is a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of up to 54 YMSM to assess feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of the LSPY compared to standard of PrEP care only to improve PrEP adherence. Our long-term goal is to develop scalable protocols to optimize at risk YMSM’s PrEP uptake and adherence in order to decrease HIV incidence. The adaptation for LifeSteps for PrEP for YMSM will be informed, developed, and refined through formative research that involves YMSM at all levels. Phase 1 has been completed, and enrollment of the pilot RCT began in September 2019. Currently, at Fenway, the study has exceeded its target recruitment number but is still open to enrollment for young cisgender men who are recent and first-time users of PrEP.

P3
P3 is a three arm, randomized-controlled trial (RCT) that tested the efficacy of the P3 app. P3 is a novel, theory-based mobile app that utilizes game mechanics and social networking features to improve PrEP adherence, retention in PrEP clinical care and PrEP persistence among young men who have sex with men (YMSM) and trans women who have sex with men (YTW), ages 16-24. The study is testing the efficacy of P3 and P3+, which adds Next Step Counseling delivered by an adherence counselor through the app, against PrEP standard of care. Participants will be randomized to P3, P3+, or standard of care. A cost comparison between P3 and P3+ will be conducted. Enrollment for P3 began in May 2019 and recently closed in August 2021.

COMPARE
In years 1-3 of the iTech branch of the Adolescent Trials Network, we have optimized and pilot-tested, using a similar study design and identical study outcomes, two distinct mobile apps, LYNX and MyChoices. The apps are designed to increase HIV testing and PrEP uptake among YMSM. The apps were developed based on different theories of behavior change, and therefore contain different components, differing messaging strategies and different approaches for engaging youth. The individual apps will be tested simultaneously in this follow-on research study to evaluate for efficacy; participants will be randomized to receive LYNX, MyChoices, or Standard of Care. Comparing the apps will allow us to identify any efficacy differences in increasing HIV testing or increasing PrEP uptake between the two apps. If justified, we will combine the components of each app that have the greatest impact on behaviors into a final, composite app for dissemination. Enrollment for COMPARE began in September 2019 and is still currently enrolling, HIV uninfected, cisgender men who have sex with men between the ages of 16-29.

TechStep
TechStep is a three-condition, technology-based randomized controlled trial (RCT) focused on stemming HIV and sexual health risk in trans youth. The study utilizes aa stepped care approach where, if deemed necessary, some participants are stepped up to be randomized to receive counseling from an in-app eCoach to discuss issues of trans health and sexual health. The study focused on enrolling high-risk HIV-negative trans feminine, trans masculine, and gender non-conforming youth with the intent to reduce sexual risk behaviors (e.g., condomless anal intercourse, engagement in sex work, sex while feeling the effects of alcohol or drugs) and increasing PrEP uptake. Enrollment for TechStep began in September 2019 and ended in September 2021.

Injectable PrEP for Youth
In continuation of our decades-long commitment to treating and preventing HIV/AIDS, Fenway Health is a testing site for another study that explores whether injectable cabotegravir is an effective method for PrEP in youth (people under 18 years old.) The parent study of Injectable PrEP for adults was proven safe and effective. Just as safe, if not more than Truvada.

Youth ages 13-24 make up 21% of new HIV infections (CDC, 2017). Having the option of taking a pill every day or receiving an injection every 8 weeks allows the individual to make the right decision for themselves. We don’t want to leave youth behind in the development of new HIV prevention methods. Enrollment for Injectable PrEP for Youth started in April 2, 2020 and is still currently enrolling.

Other Biomedical Research Studies

PrEP @ Home
The Fenway Institute continues to enroll for the PrEP @ Home Study, a trial of a home-based system of PrEP care that involves mail-in STI and HIV testing, as well as video conferences with a study provider. Since participants must be new to PrEP in order to be eligible, our research recruitment team has worked hard to develop new, creative outreach strategies to reach people not already engaged in PrEP care. Actively enrolling.

LifeSteps PrEP Adherence Study
Fenway Health, in conjunction with the University of Miami, is conducting research to investigate new ways to help adults stick to their daily PrEP regimen. Participants must be new to PrEP, 18 years or older, assigned male at birth and have sex with men. Actively enrolling.

Merck PrEP User Acceptability Study
The Merck PrEP User Acceptability study is two-phase project sponsored by Merck & Co, Inc. The purpose of this study is to understand how young men who have sex with men ages 18 to 34 feel about current and upcoming ways to take HIV PrEP. including implantable and less frequent dosing, and which ones they use and why. As new methods of preventing HIV are developed, we want to hear the thoughts YMSM have about them. In phase 1, through focus groups, we hope to learn their thoughts about a variety of long-acting PrEP agents, including monthly pills, injections, and implantable rods. Participants will also be asked to share their knowledge about oral PrEP, long-acting PrEP agents, PrEP stigma, PrEP costs, and whether long-acting agents might enhance retention in PrEP care and adherence to PrEP guidelines. In phase 2, we will conduct a multi-regional quantitative survey to assess the same questions within a larger popualtion. The User Acceptability study will begin enrolling Fall 2021.

Behavioral Sciences Research Program

HIV and Behavioral Health Treatment [HIV]

Project Matter
Project Matter is a refined text-enhanced psycho-behavioral randomized control trial to reduce under-addressed and modifiable barriers to engagement in HIV care, including internalized stigma and related emotions, among HIV-positive men who have sex with men who use substances and are sub-optimally engaged in HIV care. The project is funded by NIDA and aims to elucidate behavioral and social mechanisms associated with substance use and optimize treatment success among this population.

PrEPsteps
PrEPsteps is a study funded by the National Institutes of Health to build and test a smartphone-based PrEP adherence system that responds to adherence data collected through a novel digital pill, with a focus on improving PrEP adherence among who have sex with men (MSM) who use stimulants.

DigiPrEP
DigiPrEP is a Gilead Sciences-funded study to test the use of a digital enabled PrEP (DigiPrEP) to measure PrEP adherence in men who have sex with men (MSM) who use substances other than alcohol.

The Algorithm Study
The Algorithm Study provides smoking cessation pharmacotherapy recommendations integrated into HIV primary care for people living with HIV who smoke cigarettes.

Project QUIT
Project QUIT is a behavioral intervention to treat anxiety and depression and to increase rates of smoking cessation among people living with HIV who smoke cigarettes.

National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS)
National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS) was conducted by Fenway Health in conjunction with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The goal of NHBS is to help establish and maintain a surveillance system to monitor selected risk behaviors, HIV testing, prevention services, and HIV prevalence among groups at highest risk for HIV infection. NHBS completed 2021’s MSM cycle using a hybrid remote/in-person model, with a focus on Men who have Sex with Men in the Boston area.

MaxM
MaxM is a study that aims to learn from the experiences of young Black men who have sex with men. MaxM seeks to design a program specifically for this group to help protect their sexual health and wellbeing.

Epidemiological Research

LEGACY Project
The LEGACY Project is a longitudinal cohort of Fenway transgender and gender diverse patients. In fiscal year 2021, The Fenway Institute had 5,811 patients whose electronic health record (EHR) data is included in the cohort. Of those patients, 1,377 completed an additional survey that helps fill in the gaps in EHR data. This allows the Epidemiology team to look at more extensive psychosocial factors and patient experiences with hormones, surgeries, and other gender-confirming treatment. LEGACY’s enrollment recently ended.

LITE Study
The LITE study is a longitudinal cohort of HIV-negative transgender women spanning the Eastern and Southern US. Enrollment closed at the end of August 2020; a total of 159 enrolled at Fenway. All participant study visits have continued to be done remotely. Participants are mailed at-home HIV and STI testing kits by Molecular Testing Labs and complete follow-up surveys either online, on the study app, or over the phone every three months. Participants are followed for a total of four years.

LITEPlus Study
The LITEPlus study is a longitudinal cohort of Black and/or Latina transgender women that looks at the effects of stress on cardiovascular health. Study enrollment is ongoing; a total of three individuals have enrolled at Fenway. For much of FY21, study enrollment was done remotely, but as of June 2021, in-person enrollment has resumed..

Life+Health
Life+ Health is a population-based study of patients at Fenway Health, Mattapan Community Health Center, and Harvard Street Neighborhood Health Center (in partnership with Harvard T.H Chan School of Public Health) that aims to advance methods to measure and analyze explicit and implicit discrimination in population health research. In FY21, 538 Fenway patients enrolled in the study (560 total).

Project IMPACT
Project IMPACT is a longitudinal cohort study to test a behavioral intervention created for men who have sex with men who use stimulants (meth, cocaine, crack) in the context of sex. In FY21, 19 participants were enrolled.

PrEP for Health
PrEP for Health is a randomized control trial study being carried out in the context of two community-based syringe service programs in Massachusetts (ACCESS Drug User Health Program and the Greater Lawrence Family Health Center) that uses a health navigator-based strategy and motivational interviewing to increase PrEP uptake and adherence among people who inject drugs, a population at high risk for HIV. The study began enrollment in September 2021 and, to date, participants are starting to complete their three-month assessment milestone in the study. Across both sites, 38 people have enrolled to date.

Data and Health Informatics

The Fenway Institute supports clinical, research and public health services through state-of-the-art health informatics and data systems. Fenway’s Informatics and Data Center continues to be a leader among Community Health Centers in developing data capacity and Health Information Technology (HIT) innovations.

We continue to refine our integration with Electronic Patient Reported Outcomes (ePRO) enabling us to develop algorithms to better meet the clinical needs of patients and quality measures. They provide consultation and technical assistance on federal initiatives and to federal agencies and CHC’s on HIT, data management activities that streamline and improve data capture and reporting processes. Our Data Center collaborates with other departments to provide clinical, financial and productivity data.

The Center quickly developed and implemented technologies in response to COVID-19. As a result, Fenway was able to rapidly pivot to Telehealth to reach some of the most vulnerable populations. We are currently using telehealth for clinical care, research and public health initiatives. We collaborated with a vendor to develop automating the reporting of COVID-19 negative results to patients using text messaging.

The Center worked closely with athenaHealth, our Electronic Health Records (EHR) vendor, to develop a product called ‘Centricity Now’ that will enable hospitalists and on-call providers to access to patient records wherever they are. We also work with other HIT vendors on initiatives using latest technologies to improve patient communication and health outcomes. For example, Fenway has collaborated on a project developing standards for using FHIR to transmit social determinants of health data. Additionally, we conduct webinars and in-person trainings around the US on SOGI implementation and analyzing outcomes.

The Data team has produced over 75 data analysis sets from our EHR focusing on LGBTQ patients and continues to advise other EHR vendors on refining their products to meet the needs of the LGBTQIA+ patients. It also collaborates with national and federal partners to develop tools to monitor health outcomes; for example, Fenway worked with NACHC and CDC to evaluate a Hepatitis C Care Cascade. The Center participates in many national data registry projects, whose funders include NIH and PCORI. These projects combine de-identified patient data into a shared clinical database to evaluate patient outcomes in real world settings.

C-NICS
The Centers for AIDS Research (CFAR) Network of Integrated Clinical Systems (CNICS) research network integrates longitudinal clinical data and treatment management of persons living with HIV (PLWH) and provides research infrastructure to support HIV-associated clinical, social, behavioral outcomes, and comparative effectiveness research using data collected from 8 Centers for AIDS Research clinical sites across United States. CNICS has reviewed over 180 concept studies to date, resulting in over 350 peer reviewed manuscripts and over $125M in external funding awards to investigators working in CNICS.

Since 2001, more than 2,800 patients at Fenway Health have enrolled into C-NICS and over 15,000 individual blood specimens have been collected and processed for the biological specimen repository.

NA-ACCORD
An NIH-funded data registry that is a regional collaboration of single-site and multi-site cohorts that includes over 90,000 patients from more than 50 sites throughout the United States and multiple provinces in Canada. Comprised of both academic medical centers and community-based facilities that deliver HIV-primary and specialty care, this registry combines classical epidemiological and clinical HIV cohorts, includes both HIV-seropositive and seronegative persons, and is complemented by specimen repositories for conducting translational research.

PCORnet & ADVANCE
Of the 12 national networks that make up PCORNet, a patient-centered data registry that helps answer questions important to patients, Fenway Health contributes data quarterly to the ADVANCE network. ADVANCE is the nation’s largest safety-net community laboratory, consisting of researchers, patients and clinicians. ADVANCE’s is currently composed of 7,027,332 patients, 172 health systems, 31 states, and 1,607 clinic sites. Since the beginning of pandemic in 2020, Fenway has also been contributing weekly COVID-19 related data to ADVANCE.

EVERYWOMAN
EVERYWOMAN is examining the impact of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and state level reproductive health policies on the full spectrum of women’s health care provision and health experiences in safety-net populations. EVERYWOMAN applies a mixed-methods approach comprising patient-level electronic health record (EHR) data for large scale quantitative analyses, qualitative observations, and semi-structured interviews with patients and providers to understand perceptions and patterns of care delivery and utilization, and review of state-level reproductive health policies in inform our analyses.

Findings from this study will identify practice and policy efforts to strengthen the provision of timely, effective, evidence-based reproductive health care. Study findings will impact patients and providers through relevant practice and policy changes to improve health outcomes and reduce disparities among low-income vulnerable populations of women.

PROSPER-HIV
The PROSPER-HIV study is examining the effect of physical activity and dietary intake as effective symptom management strategies for people living with HIV (PLWH), who experience a disproportionately high symptom burden (e.g., fatigue, insomnia, pain) with few treatment options. For this three-year NIH-funded study, 850 PLWH across three CNICS sites (115 at Fenway Health) will complete an annual series of physical activities and dietary recall interviews. Additionally, participants are asked to wear a fitness tracking device to monitor physical activity routines for a week.

Marijuana Policy Change:
This is a three-phase qualitative investigation examining the role that legalization and policy changes around marijuana possession and consumption impact attitudes and patterns of use of marijuana, alcohol, and tobacco products among people living with HIV (PLWH).

Four of the C-NICS-affiliated CFAR sites are seeking to enroll 90 participants, who will participate in interviews, focus groups, and questionnaires. The results collected from this study will seek to understand changing patterns and potential consequences of marijuana and other substance use, strengthen tailored substance use interventions, and inform future policy.

In this past year, staff at The Fenway Institute completed their target of 12 remote concept interviews. After the phase one data is analyzed, we will continue to enroll participants for the second and third phase of this study.

Transgender Patient Engagement in Biomedical Research

Transgender patient participation is greatly underrepresented in biomedical research. To better understand the barriers associated with study engagement, 15 Interviews with transgender patients who have and have not participated in biomedical research. Additionally, 15 interviews with clinical staff involved in providing care or recruiting transgender patients to biomedical research will also help to determine what gaps exist for the recruitment of this population, and whether additional training or other skills may be useful to assist with study recruitment of this patient population. Recruitment for this study will begin in September 2021.

PCORI-SOGI
This 3-year study involves 12 CHCs across the country that are part of, and extended from, the HRSA-established Community Health Applied Research Network (CHARN). The primary goal of this PCORI-funded intervention study is to evaluate the impact of a sexual orientation (SO) and gender identity (GI) data collection training for Community Health Center (CHC) staff on health outcomes for sexual and gender minority patients (SGM).

Health center data from all 12 sites over the 3-year study period, informed by HRSA’s Uniform Data Systems standardized reporting system that provides consistent information about health centers and look-alikes, has now been collected. We are currently analyzing the post-intervention data to assess whether the intervention affected health outcomes for SGM patients. Key informant interviews with CHC staff are being analyzed to determine barriers and facilitators associated with collecting SOGI data. Post-intervention survey data collection from CHC patients is nearly complete and these data will be compared with pre-intervention survey data in order to explore whether the intervention impacted SGM and non-SGM patients’ health care experiences.

PUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAMS

AIDS Action is the public health division of Fenway Health and our services are designed for those most vulnerable to HIV/AIDS.

We empower our clients to live better lives by engaging with them to create practical, workable strategies to reduce their risk of HIV infection. We also assist clients with getting tested for HIV and obtaining medical care, housing, and access to benefits offered by state and federal agencies. As a result, our clients are more likely to know their HIV status, connect with the health care system, and keep themselves and their families safer from HIV infection.

Services for people living with and at risk for HIV.

AIDS Action works to support people living with HIV/AIDS, improving their quality of life and increasing treatment adherence, which helps their individual health and the broader public health by reducing the likelihood of transmission.

Sexual Health Services

The sexual health program provides testing and treatment for HIV/HCV and STIs (chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis) to men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender individuals and sexual partners of those populations. As part of our engagement process, we ran several virtual events during in FY2021 to highlight issues of testing and the use of PrEP, these included the “World AIDS Day ‘What to Expect When Getting Tested’” video event, the “Transgender Retreat,” and “PrEPped for the Holidays.”

Additionally, our Linkage to Care Coordinators help navigate newly identified HIV-positive individuals to medical care, reengage individuals who may have fallen out of care, assist with insurance needs, and more. Health Navigators provide PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis, an HIV prevention medication) education and help connect at-risk individuals to providers who can prescribe PrEP.

In fiscal year 2021, 76 clients were provided PrEP adherence support and the program was able to engage 531 MSM under 30, one of the groups at highest risk of becoming infected with HIV.

Housing

Stable housing is a critical factor in the success of people living with HIV getting connected to and staying in care. Housing staff support clients with housing search, rental and utility assistance, and housing stabilization support.

The Housing Search Program connects clients to a range of housing options, including transitional, permanent, congregate, and scattered site housing units. Our supportive housing programs provide subsidies and supportive services to families and individuals living with HIV who are exiting homelessness. The Rental Assistance Program delivers short-term emergency assistance to clients who face eviction or unaffordable housing, need assistance with move in costs and need assistance with high utility bills to avoid shutoff. In fiscal year 2021, we helped 832 households impacted by HIV move to stable housing or avoid homelessness through one or more of these housing options.

ADVOCACY

By publishing policy briefs, submitting public comment and testimony, writing op/eds, participating in media interviews, and joining coalitions in partnership with other institutions, Fenway Health staff and affiliated researchers and scientists engage in broad efforts to advance and disseminate LGBTQIA+ and HIV-related health policy research.

3,300 News Stories

During fiscal year 2021, Fenway programs, publications, staff experts, and events were featured in nearly 3,300 news stories, including in outlets like:

Highlights of our policy work included the following:

July, 2020

Fenway submitted Public Comment to the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources; Health and Human Services on a proposed rule by the Department of Health and Human Services titled “Office of the Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources; Health and Human Services Grants Regulation.” Fenway expressed opposition to the proposed rule because it “would remove regulatory provisions that explicitly prohibit organizations that receive HHS grant funding from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, sex, and religion. Under this dangerous and exceptionally broad rule, LGBT people, women, people of minority faiths, and non-religious people could face discrimination by a wide range of health and social service agencies that receive funding from HHS. This would put the health and well-being of millions of Americans at risk.”
Fenway submitted a letter to the Office of Minority Health and Health Equity at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention following up on a conversation that representatives from both offices had with Sean Cahill, PhD, the Fenway Institute’s Director of Health Policy Research.

[email protected] Virtual Gala

Our [email protected] virtual gala, celebrating the 50th year of Fenway Health, was held April 28, 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we moved our signature events online for a very special evening celebrating our LGBTQIA+ community.

The evening was hosted by the fabulous Nina West of RuPaul’s Drag Race fame. It included a look back at some milestones from our first 50 years of community care, remarks from public health hero Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and musical entertainment from Mel Fine, Neo Gcabo, and Fenway’s own FCHords a cappella group.

Over 560 people logged in to join us for this special community gathering. Together, we raised over $350,000 in donations and auction sales to support the life-saving services and programs at Fenway Health!

We would like to extend special gratitude to our sparkling host, Nina West and to Dr. Fauci for his meaningful remarks. We’d also like to thank Neo Gcabo, Mel Fine, and the FCHords for uplifting us with their voices, and our celebrity guests Roxane Gay and Big Freedia for their messages of encouragement. Thank you to our Sponsors, as always, for supporting Fenway in practicing community care.

During the event, we featured videos that highlighted Fenway’s work in research, trans health care, and youth services, as well as a special [email protected] timeline. You can watch and learn more below:

Harbor to the Bay

Harbor to the Bay is a charity bike ride from Boston to Provincetown that donates 100% of money raised by riders and crew to support HIV/AIDS programs and services at four area agencies, including Fenway Health.

The Harbor to the Bay ride is made possible each year because a core group of dedicated individuals, under the leadership of Harbor to the Bay President and Director Jim Morgrage, volunteer their time and energy to make it happen. So far, Harbor to the Bay has raised over $6 million, with every penny distributed to its beneficiaries. Few volunteer-driven fundraisers can claim such an impressive track record.

The 18th Harbor to the Bay took place on September 26, 2020. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, this year’s event was a little different. H2B Your Way was held virtually, with “riders” choosing their own routes and ways to participate, including biking, running, walking, and swimming.

In 2020, Fenway Health was represented by 34 riders and AIDS Action was represented by 11 riders. All the money they raised will ensure that Fenway and AIDS Action can provide care and services to every HIV-positive person who comes through our doors, regardless of their ability to pay. Altogether, the 2020 Harbor to the Bay Ride raised $85,105 for Fenway Health and $26,187 for AIDS Action.

We want to extend a huge thank you to all our incredible riders and donors for making this ride such a success.

AIDS Walk & Run

The 35th Annual AIDS Walk & Run was held virtually on October 18, 2020 do to the COVID-19 pandemic. While we missed being able to take it to the streets in person, we had a tremendous turnout for the online event (you can access the recording of the Walk here), which included incredible guest speakers such as Fenway Health’s CEO Ellen LaPointe, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, and Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley—who was the 2020 Bette Byrnes Award recipient (click here to watch her acceptance).

For the FY21 Walk/Run, we invited all participants to walk or run 3.1 miles right in their own neighborhoods. We were joined by 343 amazing and dedicated supporters who helped raise $220,000 to support the vital work of Fenway Health and AIDS Action to fight HIV and help those living with or at risk of contracting this horrible disease.

These fundraising efforts would not be possible without both corporate and individual participants. Leading fundraising teams like Dunkin’ Brands’ Team INspire, not only raised $13,794, but also served as our Official Breakfast Sponsor and donated gift cards to each of our participants. Other top fundraising teams included The Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT, and Harvard ($56,424), John’s Team ($28,913), Vertex Pharmaceuticals ($20,030), and the Fenway Family ($8,047). The top five individual fundraisers in 2020 were Bruce Walker, Inez Folsom, Joshua Boger, Amy Boger, and Jonathan Urbach.

Taste of the South End

While the 2020 Taste of the South End was held virtually, we had an incredible event that was supported by over 200 people who purchased tickets and tuned in to help raise over $82,000 to support Fenway Health and the communities we serve.

While it would have been delicious to gnosh together in person at the Cyclorama, it was delightful to celebrate the “Taste” community online. The event program featured a thank you to our donors from our host committee co-chairs Michelle Losasso and Donna Venegas, CEO Ellen LaPointe joined us to introduce herself to the Taste of the South End community, and The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence spiced up the evening and added some off-color cheer.

It wouldn’t be a Taste of the South End unless we were joined by some of Boston’s finest chefs and restaurants. Joanne Chang of Flour and Myers and Chang was on hand, along with several other celebrity chefs including Chef Michael Lombardi of SRV, Chef Jimmy Liang of Fuji, Chef Alima of Haley House, and Chef Douglass Williams of MIDA who each presented cooking tutorials of some of their favorite dishes. Last, but certainly not least, while we couldn’t be together to share a meal in-person, several of our Taste restaurant partners provided exclusive one-night-only discounts to help celebrate the evening.

Please be on the lookout for more information regarding Fenway’s 2022’s new events!

BOOMERANGS

Shop Thrift. Fight AIDS.

Boomerangs was started as part of a long-term strategy to diversify revenue streams in the face of declining state and federal funding. As public funding for HIV support, prevention and education programs continues to dwindle, this entrepreneurial approach allows Fenway Health and AIDS Action to continue providing services—the need for which increases each year.

During fiscal year 2021, Boomerangs faced serious challenges due to COVID-19. Along with many other retailers, we were forced to operate at reduced capacity for several months following our temporary closure earlier in 2020. We reconfigured our stores and donation system to help keep our staff and shoppers safe and healthy and expanded our online shopping options.

Despite those challenges, Boomerangs continued in our mission to raise funds and awareness for HIV services and programs. Thank you to everyone who stood by us and who continues to shop at our three brick and mortar stores and online. Your support means the world to us.

Our Stores Feature

Furniture

Artwork

Books

Clothing

Jewelry

Our Special Edition store in the South End is highly curated to realize the full potential of high-end donations.

Online Shopping

In addition to our brick and mortar stores, Boomerangs has a variety of online storefronts, including Amazon, Etsy, Ebay, and Poshmark. Learn more and check out our online sales here.

In fiscal year 2021, Boomerangs was named

Best Place to Shop Antiques, Vintage, and Thrifted Finds in Boston by AutionNinja

Thrifting Helps the Environment

Synthetic clothing may take hundreds of years to decompose in a landfill. If the average life of clothing was extended by just three months, it would reduce by five to ten percent their carbon and water footprints, as well as waste generation. The recycling of two million tons of clothing per year equates to taking one million cars from U.S. streets. Read more about the benefits of textile thrifting and recycling here.

You can shop Boomerangs from three Boston locations.
