We will soon begin repaving the main driveway outside the Yawkey, Menino, and Moakley buildings. Weather permitting, driveway closures are scheduled for the following weekends, from Friday at 8 p.m. through Sunday at 8 p.m., on the following dates: Sept. 19-21, Sept. 26-28, Oct. 17-19, and Oct. 24-26. 

Access Changes During Construction:

Pedestrian Access: Patients and visitors will be able to enter Moakley through the entrance on East Concord Street.    

Vehicle Access: Vehicular traffic should use the designated drop-off and pick-up area on East Concord Street or the 710 Albany Street Garage. Signage will indicate where metered parking has been blocked off to create a drop-off/pick-up zone (on E. Concord between Harrison and the Moakley side entrance).

Microvascular reconstruction is an advance form of reconstructive surgery whereby tissue with arteries and veins from your arm, leg, chest or back are harvested and utilized to reconstruct your face, scalp, throat or mouth. The microvascular portion involves suturing these small vessels (2-3mm wide) to arteries and veins in the neck to re-establish a blood supply to the tissue. This is a technically demanding procedure that requires the use of a microscope and suture that is finer than human hair. This procedure has been shown to improve outcomes in terms of maintaining the function of the head and neck and better aesthetic outcomes for patients with traumatic and congenital defects or require surgery for head and neck cancer.
