Todd Kerensky, MD, weighs in on the behavioral health challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic during the holiday season--and how patients can get help--in the Patriot Ledger.

It was a magical autumn evening under the stars as more than 400 turned out to support the Grayken Center for Treatment at South Shore Health at this year's Moonlight & Miracles Gala.

South Shore Hospital and South Shore Emergency Medicine Services (EMS), both part of South Shore Health, have received two Mission: Lifeline® Receiving Quality Achievement Awards, gold and silver respectively, for implementing specific quality improvement measures outlined by the American Heart Association for the treatment of patients who suffer severe heart attacks.

At South Shore Medical Center, we know that trust and transparency are key to a strong relationship with your care provider. With that in mind, we wanted to acknowledge some of the challenges patients have experienced in recent months and discuss the steps we’re taking to address those challenges.
