Since 1999, Women of Means has grown from a single physician enterprise to an established presence in the medical landscape of Boston area shelters. Today, a team of volunteer doctors and paid nurses, representing all of the major Boston teaching hospitals, provide free medical care throughout the Greater Boston area.

Through four programs, Women of Means meets its objectives of providing health care, education and advocacy with the purpose of improving the lives of homeless women. Women of Means offers Free Medical Care, an Interdisciplinary Training Program, Advocacy and produces a Telephone and Resource Directory.
