In what is sure to be one of the most talked about signature events on the South Shore this year, the 18th annual South Shore Health Moonlight & Miracles Gala will be a DRIVE-IN event hosted by radio and TV personality, Billy Costa.

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.

Dr. Allen Smith, MD, MS, President and CEO of South Shore Health, and Pamela O’Leary, Chair of the South Shore Health Board of Directors, along with other senior leaders, recently welcomed Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services Secretary Kate Walsh for a tour of South Shore Hospital.

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.

The 2023 Moonlight & Miracles Gala was a record-breaking fundraising evening, eclipsing last year's Gala by more than $80,000.

The October 21 signature event will raise money for The Grayken Center for Treatment at South Shore Health.
