Patient Companions
All Dana-Farber patients can bring up to two healthy adult companions (age 18 or older) to an outpatient appointment at Dana-Farber.
Please do not bring children or young teens as companions to your Dana-Farber appointment. Visitors age 17 and younger, including siblings, are not permitted at this time. We thank you for your understanding.
All companions and patients need to use our prescreen app. On the day of an appointment, go to prescreen.massgeneralbrigham.org on your smartphone and answer the app's screening questions to get a digital pass we’ll ask to see when you enter Dana-Farber. If you do not have a smartphone or can’t access the app, we will help you complete the screening process when you arrive.
Face Masks
Everyone is required to wear a face mask throughout their visit. We'll give you a mask when you arrive. Please make sure that it always covers your mouth and nose. Face masks remain an important way to protect yourself and others, especially for cancer patients and other persons with a weakened immune system.
