Get the free, extra support you need for healthier living
MGH Institute's IMPACT Practice Center is the home to the Ruth Sleeper Nursing Center for Clinical Education and Wellness, a nurse-led screening, referral, education, and support resource for Charlestown and Greater Boston-area residents.
Free support services are provided by MGH Institute Nurse Practitioner students, supervised by licensed nursing faculty.
The Nursing Center provides a wide variety of ongoing services, augmenting your current care. Choose the services that best suit your needs. Some of our services, like primary care, are mostly in-person visits with telehealth available if needed. Supportive Counseling services are offered only via telehealth.
Nurse-Led Mobile Health Service Program
Our mobile van enhances the adult primary care services offered through the Sleeper Center by allowing prelicensure and advanced practice nursing students to engage directly with communities at client’s residence and a variety of community-based sites; eliminating the transportation barrier to care many of our clients face. We provide free health screenings, education, and referrals with the goal of supporting clients in health promotion.
Our current and future work includes:
- Group health education.
- Assessments and resources to address social determinants of health and consequences of climate change.
- Develop long-standing community partnerships.
- Integrating telehealth into experiential learning opportunities to address health inequities.
- Foster interprofessional collaboration experiences with occupational therapy and physician assistant programs.

Community Engagement and Impact
Community outreach is an integral part of our graduate programs' curricula. Service learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, encourage civic engagement, and strengthen communities.
