Weather Advisory: Temporary Door Closure

Due to extreme cold, access through the Moakley Building's entrance off Boston Medical Center Place will be temporarily closed from 5 p.m. Friday, Jan. 30, through 7 a.m. Monday, Feb. 2.

All patients and visitors should use the main entrance for the Menino and Yawkey Buildings during this time. The hospital remains open and operating as normal.

We appreciate your patience as we take these precautions during severe winter weather.

Whether for diagnostics, treatment, a single consultation, second opinion or ongoing follow-up, BMC geriatric physicians will keep the consulting physician fully informed of the patient's treatment plan and coordinate long term management.

Specialized services for patients referred for evaluation and/or care include:

  • Office-based geriatrics primary care at our Geriatrics Ambulatory Practice
  • Interdisciplinary geriatrics consultation to give the primary provider a complete evaluation of the older patient along with a comprehensive evaluation report and suggested next steps and resources
  • Interim or long-term geriatrics primary care for patients requiring nursing home care
  • Home-based primary care for patients who are functionally home-bound and no longer able to be seen in an ambulatory care setting
  • Inpatient specialized geriatrics care for those requiring evaluation and acute hospital care
