Callahan Tunnel Project Beginning around Dec. 27, major construction activity will begin on the Callahan Tunnel, which connects Boston's North End to Logan International Airport and route 1A to East Boston. This 13-month project will rehabilitate tunnel decks, curbing and wall panels. Both lanes of the tunnel will be closed to all traffic for approximately two and a half months, and then nightly from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. for four months. More information will be shared when available.
Holiday Gifts from Vendors During the holiday season, vendors and contractors who do business with Partners, or would like to do business with Partners, often extend gifts and invitations to Partners employees and departments. Partners policies prohibit individuals from accepting gifts, including meals, entertainment and other items for personal use, from Partners vendors or potential vendors. If you receive a gift from a vendor, you need to return it or, for gifts of perishable goods, you may donate it to charity. Learn more at BWHPikeNotes.org.
BWH Personal Package Policy With the holidays fast approaching, the BWH Receiving & Distribution and Office Services departments remind employees that personal package deliveries cannot be accommodated. The priority of these departments is delivering items directly related to patient care and hospital business. Due to the large volume of these deliveries alone, the added responsibility of processing personal packages delays the turnaround time on products directly affecting patient care. Please make alternate arrangements for the delivery of personal packages. To learn more, email pgbarry@partners.org.
Primary Care at BWH Currently, all BWH primary care practices (except the Phyllis Jen Center, Brigham Circle Medical Associates and Brigham and Women's/Mass General Health Care Center in Foxborough) are accepting new patients. You can view which physicians have openings at BWHPikeNotes.org. You may also call 855-244-0012, a dedicated line for BWH and BWFH employees to access primary care.
