In support of National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on October 26, South Shore Health has partnered with several local agencies including, Weymouth and Norwell Police Departments to provide safe, convenient and responsible means of disposing unwanted and expired medications.

This is the fourth consecutive verification for South Shore Hospital. As a Level II Trauma Center, the hospital is equipped to handle all critical injuries, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Longtime South Shore Health supporters Rosemary and Jim Phalen will be named “Home Care Champions” and receive a unique Luminaria medallion alongside Christopher Oddleifson, Chief Executive Officer of Rockland Trust Company at this year's 9th annual Luminaria event.

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.

The recognition allows South Shore Hospital to perform bariatric surgery on United Healthcare patients and confirms the Center for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery is clinically superior to other bariatric programs.

Each week will feature special discounts or promotions, beginning in September and leading up to Christmas. All proceeds from The Friendly Shop support patient care at South Shore Health.

Nurse leaders and emerging nurse leaders from across South Shore Health attended the meeting, with four South Shore Health colleagues successfully submitting abstracts for poster presentation.

More than 400 people attended the spectacular event, held October 21 at Union Point in Weymouth.

This prestigious recognition highlights South Shore Hospital’s commitment to delivering high-quality, advanced care with kindness and compassion to patients across the South Shore.
