In an effort to help our patients continue their rehabilitation during COVID-19, we're happy to announce the availability of PT and OT virtual visits.

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.

Vaccines remain one of the most effective ways to protect children and communities from serious illness.

With that in mind, our vaccine recommendations will not change and will continue to follow the scientific evidence and guidance of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

Due to limits on COVID-19 vaccine supplies by the state, we are unable to schedule any new, first-dose vaccination appointments at this time. Get more details here.

South Shore Medical Center will now contact patients directly if their appointment is affected by inclement weather.
