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 is among the contenders competing in STAT Madness 2025- a bracketed competition from STAT News to find the most innovative research in the country. Two teams of BMC Researchers, one led by Valerie Gouon-Evans, PhD, PharmD, and another led by Heather Hsu, MD, MPH, and Elisha Wachman, MD, are competing.  

Dr. Gouon-Evans's research,  published in Nature Communications, presented a promising and less invasive alternative to traditional liver transplantation. 

Drs. Hsu and Wachman’s research, published in JAMA Pediatrics, introduced new trauma-informed clinical guidelines aimed at reforming mandatory child protective services reporting decisions for substance-exposed newborns without compromising patient care.
