The most commonly used patient entrances are the Shapiro Cardiovascular Center (330 Brookline Ave, main entrance for most outpatient clinics), the Rabb Building (accessible patient drop-off for a range of departments), and the Deaconess Road entrance (primary vehicle access point for patient drop-off).
