Connecting with the Partners Bulletin Board

Looking for concert tickets, a new apartment or a summer vacation rental? This search can be made easier by using the MGH/Partners Bulletin Board in Outlook. Divided into 20 different categories, the board has listings for everything from apartments to pets, furniture, clothing and event tickets.

Following are instructions to access the Bulletin Board in Outlook:
• Select "View" on the Outlook taskbar
• Then select "Folder List" from the dropdown menu
• "Public Folders"
• "Partners"
• "All Public Folders"
• "Corporate Departments"
• "Human Resources"
• "Bulletin Board"

The Bulletin Board is for employees of Partners HealthCare only. Items can be posted for up to two months and all listings must include an employee's name and contact information — no postings for non-employees such as realtors or real estate agencies will be accepted. Items posted for sale, such as homes or vehicles, must belong to the employee. Tickets for theater productions, concerts and sporting events cannot be listed for more than the original purchase price, including shipping, handling and surcharges.

To submit an item for posting on the virtual Bulletin Board, e-mail the listing information to mghperks@partners.org. Additional guidelines for submissions are available in the Bulletin Board folder.
