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.

​​​​​​​South Shore Medical Center (SSMC), part of South Shore Health, will celebrate its 60th anniversary on March 24, 2022. The milestone marks six decades of high-quality patient care on the South Shore.

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.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (Blue Cross) and South Shore Health System have launched a first-of-its-kind pilot program to improve patient care, slow the rise of health care costs, and change the way hospitals are paid.
