With support from its longstanding partnership with Best Automotive of Hingham, South Shore EMS has evolved into a premier emergency response team.

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

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 $2.7 million location is an exciting new chapter in South Shore Medical Center's 57-year history of providing primary care to the South Shore.

South Shore Hospital, part of South Shore Health, has earned an “A” safety grade rating from The Leapfrog Group, a designation that ranks the hospital among the safest in the Greater Boston area and the United States.

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.

Each week will feature special discounts or promotions, beginning in September and leading up to Christmas. All proceeds from The Friendly Shop support patient care at South Shore Health.
