BWH Office Services Updates Due to patient and employee privacy, all envelopes sent to the BWH Mailroom for postage must arrive already sealed. The mailroom does not have sealing equipment and wants to ensure that all information is private. Additionally, while BWH Office Services is not able to process large or bulk mailings, the team can guide you through the process. Contact Ann Haley at ahaley@partners.org for more information.
