As a result of the national coin shortage affecting the United States, BWFH's cafeteria is asking employees to bring in their rolled coins from home to exchange for paper money.

Mass General Brigham has decided to extend remote work through June of 2021 for individuals who have been directed by their managers to work remotely. While this decision was difficult, we must lead by example and support Governor Baker’s request to work remotely wherever possible. In addition, we carefully considered our responsibilities as a health care system and the largest private employer in Massachusetts. Continuing remote work for approximately 25% of our population allows us to reduce the density of our workplaces and reduce the number of people who travel on public transportation, ensuring that social distancing is maintained. Please note, you may be asked to return to the worksite sooner if your manager indicates that your job responsibilities require it.
