911 Dialing Changes

The Brigham has updated its telecommunication systems so that callers no longer must dial 9 before dialing 911. Callers can dial 911 directly to reach emergency assistance. At the Brigham, dialing 9-911 will continue to work as well. Because of this, it is possible to dial 911 accidentally on a phone or fax machine. Please be vigilant and pay special attention when dialing outside phone or fax lines. For questions, contact the IS Service desk at 617-732-5927.
