Frequently Asked Questions

How is care at BWFH different during the COVID-19 pandemic?

The health and safety of our patients, families and staff is our top priority, so we are taking a comprehensive approach to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. We know that COVID-19 will be with us for the foreseeable future, so we’ve implemented measures to provide the safest possible environment.

We are open to see all patients for necessary general care in the outpatient and inpatient settings, and our Safe Care Commitment ensures your in-person visit to Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital is welcoming and safe.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to physical distance, we are also offering Virtual Visits that are conducted remotely through the use of phones and computers whenever possible. Outpatient visits are available for care that requires a face-to-face visit, physical examination, treatment or procedure. Your care team will help you determine which is best for you.
