BMC’s Yawkey building doors are now closed as an entrance as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our campus and provide you with the best clinical care.

All patients and visitors on our main campus must enter our hospital via Shapiro, Menino, or Moakley buildings, where they will be greeted by team members at a new centralized check-in desk before continuing to the hospital. We are excited to welcome you and appreciate your patience as we improve our facilities.

Sexuality

Sexuality

Noun

A social construction that defines how people relate to one another in romantic, emotional, and/or physical ways. Though people are often assumed to be heterosexual (a frame of mind referred to as heterosexism), there are many sexualities that have existed across time and societies. Social and cultural forces regulate sexuality, and acknowledging the diversity of sexualities without prejudice is part of being in a pluralistic society.BMC’s Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery
