About Dr. Christine Harrington

Dr. Harrington graduated Magna Cum Laude from Brown University with a B.A. in Cognitive Science. She earned her Doctor of Medicine degree from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. She completed her internship and residency in Internal Medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Harrington worked at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center for 16 years, where she was a Harvard University Instructor, educating and mentoring medical students in primary care medicine. She passionately worked to improve the delivery of high-quality healthcare by serving on the Affiliated Physicians Group (APG) Provider Advisory Board and the Clinical IT Leadership Committee, playing a pivotal role in implementing a new electronic medical record system for APG. After spending three years helping to establish a new primary care practice at Atrius Health, Dr. Harrington joined the Newton Wellesley Hospital team in 2019, where she remains a committed member of the Department of Internal Medicine. Her clinical interests include preventive medicine, women's health, and the long-term care of cancer survivors. Additionally, she is pursuing certification in Lifestyle Medicine, which uses evidence-based approaches such as diet, exercise, sleep, and stress reduction to prevent, treat, and reverse chronic diseases. Beyond medicine, Dr. Harrington practices most of what she preaches and enjoys running, biking, swimming, skiing, and hiking with her dogs. She is an avid cook and an even better baker. She unapologetically states that while her passion for balanced nutrition leads her to enjoy tofu and chickpeas, she will never give up her home-baked M&M cookies. Dr. Harrington is passionate about helping her patients not only live long lives but also live healthier, longer lives.
