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

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.

This $200,000 sponsorship and Alan's continued philanthropic partnership will help advance emergency care, trauma services, and patient access across the South Shore.

The South Shore Health annual Golf Classic, held on May 20, generated a record-breaking $320,000 – with all proceeds earmarked for the organization’s implementation of Behavioral Health services and initiatives.

The new unit, located on the first floor near the hospital’s Main Entrance, doubles short-stay capacity from 10 to 20 beds.

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 signature event will be held outdoors at Union Point in Weymouth.
