Campus Construction Update Regarding Driveway Access to the Yawkey, Menino, and Moakley buildings.

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).

Doctors use blood chemistry tests to check the levels of different chemicals and electrolytes, such as potassium and sodium, in the blood. Doctors also check the blood for high levels of calcium and creatinine (a compound passed from the body in the urine). The level of creatinine in the blood is directly correlated with kidney health. When the kidneys are damaged, the blood level of creatinine rises.
