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.

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.
