DISTRIBUTED CAMPUS: BWH Weekend Care Clinic Open at Faulkner Hospital
When a physician receives a weekend page from a patient with urgent care needs, the physician does not need to send the patient to the emergency room. Such patients instead can be referred to BWH Weekend Care at Faulkner Hospital. Weekend Care provides urgent care to patients for such conditions as bronchitis, pharyngitis, urinary tract infections, URIs, red eye, rashes and sprains.
The clinic is open for all BWH, BWPO and Dana-Farber practices to use for non-emergency patients.
Weekend Care is open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The clinic moved to Faulkner Hospital Sept. 1, 2004, from its former location at 850 Boylston St. The Faulkner Hospital location allows access to full laboratory and radiology services. Also, Faulkner’s Emergency Department is nearby, if needed.
Weekend Care is located in suite 5910 of Faulkner Hospital, in the office of Brigham Primary Physicians. Walk-ins are not accepted; patients must first contact their physician. Referring primary care physicians and specialists can call 617-983-4667 to refer patients to Weekend Care. Patients may then call 617-983-4668 at 9 a.m. to schedule their appointment.
