Geiger-Gibson Community Health Center is established.

Originally the Columbia Point Health Center and founded by Dr. H. Jack Geiger and Count Gibson, it is located in a building of the Columbia Point public housing development at 300 Mt. Vernon Street. The first federally-funded neighborhood community health center in the U.S., it is initially affiliated with Tufts University College of Medicine. Operation of the center is transferred to Action for Boston Community Development in 1972, then to Boston’s Department of Health and Hospitals in 1979. It subsequently merges with the Neponset Health Center, assumes its current name in 1990, and is now operated by Harbor Health Services.
