A friendly reminder that, tomorrow, Saturday, 2/16 at 6AM through Sunday, 2/17 at 6AM (24 hours) the BMC ambulance bay will be closed for work to the vestibule area. During this work, emergent ambulance traffic will be redirected to the Emergency Department Walk-in entrance via Shapiro Drive. Ambulance triage and registration will be moved Pod D to accept crews and patients arriving via ambulance while this work is taking place. A Public Safety officer will be stationed at Shapiro Dr. to assist with traffic flow. This does not impact flow for our non-emergent ambulance transfers and discharges. The ambulance bay will reopen on Sunday, 2/17 at 6:00AM.

Please note that during the 24 hour period the BMC Decon room will not be accessible. Please divert any patient that has been decontaminated in the field or who could be contaminated with a hazardous material to other decon capable hospitals between Saturday, 2/16 at 6AM through Sunday, 2/17 at 6AM (24 hours).

Please assist us in communicating this information to your teams.
