The goal of the Brigham and Women's Hospital Security Department is to provide as safe and secure an environment as possible for all patients, visitors, and employees. The department is staffed by fully trained security personnel who can be found at the Information Desks located near the main entrances to the hospital. In addition, uniformed Security Guards conduct regular patrols throughout the hospital buildings and grounds. You can also call the Security Department from any hospital telephone by dialing x2-6565.
Lost and Found
The Security Department is responsible for safeguarding and attempting to return any personal belongings that may have been lost anywhere on campus. Any inquires about lost property should be directed to the Main Security Office at (617) 732-6565, where a database of all property found on campus is maintained. Found property is held for 21 days. At the end of that time, all unclaimed property is either returned to the finder, disposed of or donated to local charities.
