About

From the lab to your doctor’s office, from the broad political stage to the numbers on your scale, we’d like WBUR's health coverage to be your go-to source for news and conversation about health, medicine and science.

The Boston area is considered by many the biomedical capital of the world. Health care is the biggest sector in the Massachusetts economy. The state gets more NIH money per capita than anywhere else.

And for health care consumers, the stakes can be life and death.

We cut through the noise and use compelling, human, intimate stories to tell you what you need to know about this most complex, daunting and critically important arena. We share the voices of patients, caregivers, researchers and policy makers to offer a broad landscape of opinion, classical reporting and personal experience.

Besides online, you can find WBUR's Health coverage:

  • On the radio at 90.9 WBUR-FM
  • On social media: Facebook and Instagram
  • Live at Cityspace events
