Campus Construction Update

The Menino building lobby entrance is currently closed. This, along with the ongoing Yawkey building entrance closure, will help us bring you an even better campus experience that matches the exceptional care you've come to expect. Please enter the Menino and Yawkey buildings through the Moakley building, and make sure to leave extra time to get to your appointment. Thank you for your patience.

Why Autism Friendly?

The Autism Friendly Initiative is inspired by the experiences of our patients, caregivers, clinicians, and staff.

Patients with ASD have unique sensory and communication needs, which can make navigating the fast-paced and over-stimulating hospital environment a challenge. The Autism Friendly Initiative aims to help meet these needs and create a calmer and more effective care environment for patients.
