This is what I remember being called "Boston City Hospital". It's in Roxbury, which now is pretty much an all-black neighborhood with lots of housing projects. It was actually set up as a charity-type hospital from the beginning (late 19th-c.)
With so many other top medical facilities in town, though, it's hard for me to imagine a white ending up there unless they happened to be shot within a 5-or-10-block radius.
I don't get what they mean in the article by, "preferentially admitting patients historically denied access to certain forms of medical care."
