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).

Urine tests, or urinalysis, are used to diagnose and manage many conditions. An infection, illness, or other conditions may change how your urine looks or what's present in it, such as increased proteins or sugars. A urine test can help your doctor identify these issues.

Urine tests may be used as part of a regular checkup, during a pregnancy checkup, or if you have symptoms like painful urination. Your doctor may also recommend regular urine tests if you have conditions like kidney disease.

Sometimes a urine test is enough to diagnose an illness, while in other cases it may point to the need for more tests.
