Three new medical providers offer primary care for all ages at historic health center
We are excited to announce the opening of medical services at Geiger Gibson Community Health Center!
Three new medical providers will offer primary care for all ages. Dr. Caroline Mullin, Dr. John O’Brien, and Alice Mui, a nurse practitioner, are excited to be a part of bringing medical services back to the Columbia Point neighborhood. They are welcoming new patients and have same day appointments available now.
As Dr. Mullin told the Dorchester Reporter, ““I’ve been trained in a broad range of skills and the whole idea is that I can go into a community and be a little bit of a chameleon to provide the community what it needs.”
“It was a deliberate choice by Harbor Health to open a family medicine department. I see newborns, we see pediatric patients, we see their older siblings, cousins, uncles, all the way up to their grandparents. There is nobody in the community who should look here and say, ‘I can’t get my care there.’”

History of Geiger Gibson
In 1965, Dr. Jack Geiger and Dr. Count Gibson opened the Columbia Point Health Center in Dorchester, Massachusetts. It was the first community health center in the nation.
Dr. Geiger believed a health center would provide much needed medical and social services to underserved communities. He also wanted to offer community members a path for empowerment and citizen action.
The health center operated humbly in the Columbia Point public housing development, moving to its current location at 250 Mt. Vernon Street in the 1990s. The Columbia Point Health Center was renamed Geiger Gibson in honor of its founders.
