South Shore Medical Center, part of South Shore Health, has expanded its specialty services with the addition of urologic care at its Kingston location, providing patients with greater access to comprehensive diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management of urologic conditions closer to home.

Effective May 16, 2023, South Shore Medical Center shifted to a walk-in model for blood draws and sample drop-offs. Instead of scheduling a lab appointment, patients with active orders for a blood draw or sample drop-off can conveniently walk in to any South Shore Medical Center lab, check in at the lab desk, and get the services they need.
