The Joy in Medicine recognition celebrates organizations that create environments where health care professionals can thrive.

South Shore Visiting Nurses Association (VNA), part of South Shore Health, has officially earned Accreditation from the Home Care Alliance of Massachusetts—cementing its reputation as one of the state’s most trusted providers of home health care.

Each week will feature special discounts or promotions, beginning in September and leading up to Christmas. All proceeds from The Friendly Shop support patient care at South Shore Health.

Effective July 22, 2026, we will transition to a new communication platform designed to make it easier to stay connected to your care. This platform, named Hello World, is an Epic application that supports secure two-way text messaging and improved phone and email between patients and South Shore Health.

This $200,000 sponsorship and Alan's continued philanthropic partnership will help advance emergency care, trauma services, and patient access across the South Shore.
