In Sickness…
If you have an Emergency, dial 911
If you need immediate care for an illness or injury, call 781-744-7000 and ask to speak to your primary care physician's office. The triage nurse who is part of your health care team may set up a same-day appointment with your doctor or, if he or she is not available, your team's nurse practitioner, physician assistant or resident physician. The nurse may also discuss your condition with a doctor and then call you with further instructions.
For medical advice or care after office hours, contact the GIM on-call physician at 781-744-7000. You may be referred to the Urgent Care Center (4 East), which sees patients on a first-come, first-served basis. The Center is open Monday through Friday from 5 pm to 7:45 pm, Saturday from 8 am to 4 pm, and Sunday from 8 am to 12 noon. For continuity of care, we request that you contact your physician's office before coming to the Urgent Care Center.
For a prescription renewal or a specialty care referral, also call 781-744-7000.
