At Tufts Medical Center, our extraordinary employees have dedicated their lives to keeping you healthy and safe. 

In the coming weeks and months, in accordance with state and federal guidelines, we will gradually will be increasing the number of in-person visits and procedures as the number of COVID-19 hospitalizations decline. We will also continue to offer telehealth visits by video and telephone, as many of our patients have found this form of appointment convenient. Learn more about our telemedicine services > A logo that says "Safe with us"We understand there is still anxiety about going anywhere, including to the doctor or a hospital while COVID-19 remains in the community.
