Holiday Reminder: Personal Package Policy

With the holidays fast approaching, the Receiving & Distribution and Office Services teams remind employees that personal package deliveries cannot be accommodated. The priority of these departments is delivering items directly related to patient care and hospital business. Due to the large volume of these deliveries alone, the added responsibility of processing personal packages delays the turnaround time on products that may directly affect patient care. Please make alternate arrangements for the delivery of personal packages. For questions, contact Jonathan Santiago at jmsantiago@bwh.harvard.edu.
