The Weymouth hospital is one of four in Massachusetts to earn the competitive award.

Members of South Shore Health’s EMS, Emergency Department and Trauma Services Teams are being honored with the Outstanding Team Response Award by the Metropolitan Boston Emergency Medical Services Council (MBEMSC).

The new program is designed to provide intensive, structured care for individuals who need more support than traditional outpatient therapy, while still allowing participants to live at home and continue their daily routines.

Rating designates Weymouth hospital among the best in Greater Boston and the U.S. for safety.
