Train/Bus: The Route 59 Bus travels between Needham Junction and Watertown Square via Newtonville. You can transfer from the Green Line (D) at Newton Highlands to the Route 59 Bus. The bus will drop you at the corner of Chestnut and Elliot Streets. This is directly across the street from the Echo Bridge Office Park. You will walk straight along Chestnut Street through the Echo Bridge Office Park parking Lot until you reach our building. #1039 is at the end of the lot with the door facing Chestnut Street.

PLEASE DO NOT PAY THE DRIVER. The cab driver will provide you with a VOUCHER to sign for the trip. Fare and Tip are covered by generous donations to The Wellness Community.

Train/Walk: The closest T stop to The Wellness Community is approximately one mile from our building and the route includes a few steep hills. If you wish to take this route, take a D Train to the ELLIOT. (Rt. 9 near the corner of Woodward Street) Call for detailed walking directions.
