Healthcare Social Stories | Boston Medical Center

BMC’s Yawkey building doors are now closed as an entrance as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our campus and provide you with the best clinical care.

All patients and visitors on our main campus must enter our hospital via Shapiro, Menino, or Moakley buildings, where they will be greeted by team members at a new centralized check-in desk before continuing to the hospital. We are excited to welcome you and appreciate your patience as we improve our facilities.

Many individuals with ASD have heightened preferences for routines and difficulties navigating unfamiliar settings. Preparing before visiting the doctor often helps reduce fears and anxieties, improving the chance of a successful visit.

The Autism Friendly Initiative’s Healthcare Social Stories website is a library of social stories about the various procedures that commonly take place during a visit to the hospital.

A wide range of social stories are available, with many more in development. Check out our healthcare social stories here!
