South Shore Health’s Nurse Residency Program has earned Practice Transition Accreditation Program® (PTAP) accreditation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). This designation - the highest level awarded by the ANCC - recognizes organizations that demonstrate excellence in preparing new nurses for successful transition into practice.

South Shore Health announced that they have received the largest private gift in the organization’s 97-year history to support Substance Use Disorder and Behavioral Health services and initiatives.

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.

The award is recognition for South Shore Health's support and commitment to the women and men who serve our country in the armed forces.

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.

Due to the storm that hit our region October 26 and 27, we've adjusted hours and operations at certain South Shore Health ambulatory care locations.
