An Update Regarding Seasonal Illnesses

To help prevent the spread of seasonal respiratory illnesses, we strongly encourage all visitors to wear a mask while in ambulatory clinics or inpatient units. Surgical masks are available at hospital and clinic entrances. Patients with respiratory illnesses should also wear masks. Thank you for helping protect our patients, staff, and community.

Boston Medical Center’s media relations team is responsible for facilitating and staffing all press interviews with hospital staff and patients. If you are a member of the press looking to set up an interview or find an expert, contact a media relations staff person listed below. The office is staffed on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 4:30 pm. ET, but we are available at any hour of the day to accommodate requests.

Please note: It is hospital policy that a media relations team member staff all interviews. This includes phone interviews and in-person interviews with all members of the press, including reporters, producers, photographers and videographers. Contact the media relations team for assistance.
