How to Find Us
Click above to "View Map & Directions" or call 1-800-258-4448. You can take the MBTA Green B Line or 57 bus to the Babcock Street stop. Look for the bright blue Planned Parenthood banners outside of our building, next to Star Market. If you are driving, metered street parking is available; please bring quarters - each quarter is worth 12 minutes on the meter.

If you live out-of-state and would like information regarding the services we offer, please email us at [email protected]. One of our patient navigation staff will reach out to you within 48 hours.  Please make sure you provide a phone number you can be reached at and the times that best work for you.

Patient Greeter Volunteers
When you arrive at the Boston clinic for your appointment, please look for our official Planned Parenthood Volunteer Patient Greeters. The Patient Greeters are specially trained by Planned Parenthood to greet you at the door and quickly escort you into the building for your appointment. All Planned Parenthood Volunteer Patient Greeters wear neon vests that read “VOLUNTEER” on the front and “PLANNED PARENTHOOD” on the back, which distinguishes them from any protesters who may be on the sidewalk or near the entrance to the clinic.

Childcare Policies

Children under the age of 12 are not allowed in the waiting area unsupervised.

We’re unable to provide childcare at our health center. For safety reasons children need to be accompanied by an adult when they’re in the waiting room. Only infants can accompany you to the exam room. Please bring a friend or family member to be with your children if you don’t have childcare at home.

Services Offered

You can fill your birth control prescriptions at our health center instead of the pharmacy. Planned Parenthood is proud to offer same day prescription refills any day we are open. If you have an existing prescription with us, you can call to request to refill your birth control before noon, and your prescription will be available for pick up after 2pm on the SAME DAY. Please call ahead to verify pick-up hours. Please note that if you are using health insurance to cover the cost of your prescription, there may be restrictions on how many refills you can receive at one time.

You can come to us for services that don’t require a medical exam. For example, birth control education and supplies; emergency contraception (AKA the morning after pill); pregnancy testing and counseling; STD testing, and testing and treatments for urinary tract infections.
