Update on the CHA Somerville Campus

Early in the morning on September 28, a water main broke at the CHA Somerville Campus. Electrical and elevator systems were impacted and some clinics suffered extensive water damage. The building was shut down and remains closed while repairs are underway.

We are excited to report that some services will reopen in early November, including Urgent Care, the GI Center, Radiology, the Sleep Lab, and Primary Care. The Eye Center will follow in mid November. 

In order to better meet the needs of our patients, our Urgent Care will have new hours -- Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 8 PM; weekends and Holidays, 10 AM to 5 PM. Urgent Care is a great place to get the care you need when your primary care center is not open or you can’t get an appointment.

Thank you for your patience as we work to reopen the entire Somerville Campus. Please look for more updates by email over the next few weeks.
