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.

Continuing with our departmental initiative to strengthen Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, our team recently had the incredible opportunity of participating in a Microaggressions Workshop and LIFT training lead by Boston University’s own Dr. Emelia Benjamin and Alyssa DiNicola. The workshop was a fantastic opportunity for us to continue create awareness and to educate all members of our department—including faculty, trainees, and staff—on these important matters. Our goal is to continue to create an environment where all can feel welcome and accepted, and where we all can thrive. Thank you, Dr. Benjamin and Ms. DiNicola, for this wonderful and engaging presentation.
