On Saturday, April 27, more than 200 cowboys and cowgirls came together “As One” to attend the 16th annual Kickin’ Up Country for Home Care event hosted by The Friends of South Shore Health.

Celebrating its 100th anniversary, the South Shore Hospital earns its seventh straight “A” grade from The Leapfrog Group, rating it among the best in Greater Boston and the U.S. for safety

The award is recognition for South Shore Health's support and commitment to the women and men who serve our country in the armed forces.

What started in 2006 as a program with one nurse and 30 machines has grown to include coverage seven days a week using medical equipment that has the capacity to remotely monitor up to 175 patients.

One year after being chosen as the pilot site for a one-of-its-kind study, South Shore Hospital, part of South Shore Health, has seen a nearly 4-percent decrease in its first time cesarean section rate while continuing to improve communication, patient experience and outcomes during childbirth.
