South Shore Health announced that they have received the largest private gift in the organization’s 97-year history to support Substance Use Disorder and Behavioral Health services and initiatives.

In what is sure to be one of the most talked about signature events on the South Shore this year, the 18th annual South Shore Health Moonlight & Miracles Gala will be a DRIVE-IN event hosted by radio and TV personality, Billy Costa.

Despite 2020’s numerous challenges, attendees of this signature event delivered on their promise to help people with substance use disorders and behavioral health needs.

Longtime South Shore Health supporters Rosemary and Jim Phalen will be named “Home Care Champions” and receive a unique Luminaria medallion alongside Christopher Oddleifson, Chief Executive Officer of Rockland Trust Company at this year's 9th annual Luminaria event.

South Shore Hospital, part of South Shore Health, has received an Innovator Award from the editors of Healthcare Innovation for its groundbreaking work in Clinical Pharmacy Practice by improving the medication reconciliation process.

The October 20 signature event will raise money for Emergency Services at South Shore Health.

As the largest presenting sponsor in the Gala’s history, the donation builds on McKim’s legacy of transformational giving.
