BOSTON – Residents in the Chelsea area in need of urgent health care have a new option with today’s opening of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center’s (BIDMC) urgent care facility in Chelsea.

Evaluation for Liver Transplant
Receiving an organ transplant can be one of the most positive experiences of your life, improving your health and brightening your outlook. But at times it can be physically and emotionally draining. A transplant offers more independence and a longer and better quality life.

You will need frequent medical supervision after your transplant, but this intense care will gradually lessen over time.
