Brigham and Women’s Hospital is committed to making our facilities and medical services accessible and creating a welcoming environment for all. 

Public Transportation

We are conveniently located near handicap accessible public transportation and provides accessible parking and shuttle services. The Brigham Circle stop on the MBTA's green line is ADA compliant and barrier free.  Visitors coming by MBTA should use the 15 Francis Street entrance.  This entrance is open from 6am to 8pm. When this entrance is closed, use the 75 Francis Street entrance.

Additionally, MBTA’s THE RIDE offers door-to-door transportation to eligible people who cannot use general public transportation. To become eligible for THE RIDE, you must complete an application. Learn more at www.jv-theride.com or www.mbta.com, or call 800-533-6282(V) or 617-222-5415(TTY).

Shuttle Services

Wheelchair accessible shuttles operate between Brigham and Women’s Hospital (at 75 Francis Street) and the Ambulatory Care Center at 850 Boylston Street, Chestnut Hill.  Accessible shuttles also operate between Brigham and Women’s and Faulkner Hospital, Jamaica Plain.  There is also a shuttle that operates between Brigham and Women's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital. You may view shuttle schedules online or posted at the shuttle stop across from the 75 Francis Street entrance.

Parking

Brigham and Women’s offers valet parking and accessible parking spaces in both of the hospital's parking garages.

Valet Parking

Moderately priced valet parking is available at all three entrances to Brigham and Women’s Hospital (15 Francis Street, 45 Francis Street and 75 Francis Street.)  There is no vehicle height restriction.

  • Ambulatory Services Center Garage at 45 Francis Street – Only drivers whose cars have HP plates or placards may self park in this garage. All other drivers may valet park their cars at this location or self park in the Servicenter Garage.
  • Servicenter Garage (at the corner of Francis Street and Brookline Avenue, enter on Francis Street) – Patients and visitors can enter directly into practices at 500 Brookline Avenue without having to go outside.
