What to Expect
Before Your First Visit
All new patients to the International Mesothelioma Program (IMP) must register. The first step is to call the Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) Division of Thoracic Surgery at 1-617-732-5922 and ask to speak with one of our New Patient Coordinators.
The New Patient Coordinator will ask you to provide some information about yourself and your insurance, including the nature of your illness plus contact information for your local doctor or the physician who referred you to the IMP.
We will walk you through the formal BWH registration process. We also will set up your appointment and provide the name of the surgeon who will be meeting with you, along with instructions about what to bring to the appointment. The New Patient Coordinator should be able to answer any questions you may have or, if not, will put you in contact with the appropriate person.
