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.

A Story of Hope

Patricia had a major stroke in 2019. For the initial years after her stroke, she used a wheelchair to get around. She had significant weakness on her left side as a result of the stroke.

In 2022, 3 years after the event, Patricia started with intense physical therapy. Her husband, John, drove her into the city multiple times a week to receive this care. Patricia and her husband have seen drastic improvements in her ability to walk in the last 3 months. She previously was primarily using a wheelchair and now she is walking over 600 feet at a time.

Patricia and John want others to know not to give up hope after a stroke. They were told many times Patricia would not recover in the ways that she has. It takes hard work, but it is possible- even 3 years post stroke.
