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.

Patient Story: Rafael Senises

In September 2021, Rafael was 86 years old and living alone independently. On September 18th, he was found unconscious on the street. He was brought in by EMS and NIHSS was 18 (a moderate to severe stroke). A CTA was done showing a left M2 occlusion, a clot in a large vessel in his brain. Dr. Thanh Nguyen successfully removed the clot with significant improvement in the flow of blood to his brain.

He went to rehab after his hospitalization for 2 months to recover. He now is back to living in his home with a PCA. His daughter says they are very happy with his results after his stroke. He has had a remarkable recovery. NIHSS has improved from 18 initially to 4 at his 6 month follow up appointment.
