Last week the new Mass General Brigham website went live. The new, streamlined site is patient-focused and further demonstrates to patients and the community how we work as an integrated health care system.
The site is organized into four main categories geared toward patients: Who we Are, How we Lead, Find and Get Care and Patient Information. The site has been optimized for mobile viewing and is built with accessibility in mind. The site also provides the ability to view some of the main patient-facing information in 10 different languages. To learn more visit www.massgeneralbrigham.org.
Join us on Wednesday, July 15 from 5 – 6 pm for a virtual roundtable discussing personal mental health experiences of physicians across Mass General Brigham. Please click here for additional details or RSVP for the Zoom link.
