New Area Code, Exchange for Shapiro Phone Numbers
The Shapiro Center has a new area code and exchange for anyone to use when calling from outside of BWH. Opening the building requires BWH to add 2,200 new telephone and fax numbers. Because the 617 area code has been out of capacity for large blocks of numbers for quite some time, all new requests go to the 857 area code.
The new area code and exchange for Shapiro is (857) 307-xxxx. If you are dialing from the BWH main campus, dial ext. 7-xxxx.
Emergency Numbers will remain the same:
STAT/CODE Line 2-6555
Security 2-6565
Hospital Operators 2-5500
Page Operators 2-6660
Call forwarding will be placed on critical numbers, including:
Central Processing Department
Non-Invasive CV Imaging
Cardiovascular Diagnostic and Interventional Center
OR Main Desk
Watkins Cardiovascular Clinic
Brigham Circle Medical Associates
Center for Advanced Molecular Diagnostics
