South Shore Health is thrilled to announce that our dedicated Laboratory and Respiratory professionals have once again demonstrated their unwavering commitment to excellence in patient care.

Effective May 16, 2023, South Shore Medical Center shifted to a walk-in model for blood draws and sample drop-offs. Instead of scheduling a lab appointment, patients with active orders for a blood draw or sample drop-off can conveniently walk in to any South Shore Medical Center lab, check in at the lab desk, and get the services they need.

The shipment contained 1,950 doses of the Pfizer vaccine, which will be distributed to front-line workers across South Shore Health beginning this week.

January is National Blood Donor Month, an ideal time to spotlight the life-saving efforts of South Shore Health’s Blood Bank, which ensures safe transfusions through blood typing and cross-matching, stores and manages our blood inventory, and provides essential support during emergency situations.

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 $2.7 million location is an exciting new chapter in South Shore Medical Center's 57-year history of providing primary care to the South Shore.
