BMC’s Yawkey building doors are now closed as an entrance as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our campus and provide you with the best clinical care.

All patients and visitors on our main campus must enter our hospital via Shapiro, Menino, or Moakley buildings, where they will be greeted by team members at a new centralized check-in desk before continuing to the hospital. We are excited to welcome you and appreciate your patience as we improve our facilities.

Also called "knee resurfacing," this is an alternative to total knee replacement. It allows the patient to retain part of their original knee joint while also receiving some new, artificial parts. Partial knee replacement can be a good option for patients with active lifestyles, allowing them to return to their normal activity levels prior to the onset of their knee pain.
