She is a board-certified family nurse practitioner with a sub-specialty in women’s health and an interest in serving immigrant patients and their families. In 2005, Maggie completed a fellowship in farmworker health in the Salinas Valley of California. Since 2009, she has practiced at Boston Health Care for the Homeless (BHCHP), providing primary care to patients in shelter-based clinics. In March of 2019, she launched a new immigrant health clinic, Oasis Clinic, at BHCHP where immigrants experiencing homelessness are connected with interdisciplinary and multi-lingual services. Maggie also works as a clinical consultant with the Connecticut River Valley Farmworker Health Program and collaborates with Partners In Health in Chiapas, Mexico and Guatemala. Ms. Sullivan conducts forensic asylum evaluations with Physicians for Human Rights and Harvard Medical School’s Asylum Network.
