The Joy in Medicine recognition celebrates organizations that create environments where health care professionals can thrive.

The American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) has awarded a silver-level Beacon Award for Excellence to the Richard and Joann Aubut Critical Care Unit (CCU) at South Shore Hospital. This recognition marks the fourth consecutive Beacon Award for the CCU and its dedicated team of caregivers.

The program expands access to robotic-assisted surgery and multidisciplinary cancer care for patients across the South Shore and Southeastern Massachusetts—delivered by experts from all three organizations.
