After an amazing 38-year career in primary care, Dr. Jane Brown has retired from Needham Pediatrics.
Dr. Brown joined Needham Pediatrics in 1986 after completing degrees at MIT and Harvard Medical School and a residency at Boston Children’s Hospital. She was the first woman physician to join the practice, which at the time comprised Drs. Salvo, Connolly, and Rosin.
Dr. Brown worked tirelessly at Needham Pediatrics over many decades while also raising her family of four children and subsequently pursuing a master’s degree in public health from Harvard University. In recent years, Dr. Brown has also provided care on weekends for newborns at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and she has pursued several service projects caring for displaced refugee populations in the US and around the world.
While Dr. Brown is leaving Needham Pediatrics, she is not ceasing her pediatric career. Dr. Brown will continue to pursue her passion for helping families in need by working at a federally-funded health center in Brighton, MA.
We at Needham Pediatrics, as well as thousands of patients and families in our local community, have benefited greatly from Dr. Brown’s decades of service. We thank her for her immeasurable contributions and wish her the best as she continues to care for patients and families in need.
