Five leading medical groups have joined together as Atrius Health, a non-profit alliance, to transform the delivery of health care in eastern Massachusetts. Building on our long and proud history of high quality and preventive care, Dedham Medical Associates, Granite Medical, Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates, Southboro Medical Group and South Shore Medical Center are working together to create a new and proactive approach to patients' health, coordinated by the primary care doctor and medical team.

While each of our Atrius Health groups continues to serve its own patients, we also act in concert to bring a broader range of needed services to our communities. All groups will soon share one electronic medical record system, increasing the ease with which patients access the wide range of specialists and diagnostic services across Atrius Health. Our practices work together to meet aggressive goals on issues ranging from diabetes treatment and cancer screening to decreasing wait time for patients and improving physician communication skills.

Atrius Health serves almost 600,000 adult and pediatric patients in over 2.3 million visits annually to our 30 practice locations. Our skilled medical team includes more than 700 physicians and 1,000 other medical professionals, with a combined total of almost 5,000 employees.

The combined Atrius Health practices offer over 35 specialties, from obstetrics to pediatrics, including dental services, oncology, cardiology, ophthalmology, sports medicine, allergy, dermatology, surgery and behavioral health - as well as labs, imaging and pharmacies which are conveniently located on-site in many of our offices.

For those cases when our patients require hospital-based services, the medical groups of Atrius Health are affiliated with leading area teaching and community hospitals. Our doctors and other providers accept most major health insurance plans, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Fallon Community Health Plan, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Neighborhood Health Plan, Tufts Health Plan, and Tufts Medicare Preferred.
