Creating a welcoming and calming environment for our patients is always a top priority for us at Shore. Recently, two of our talented in-house painters completed work on our Mammography Suite, where their warm, soothing color choices help set the tone for a more positive screening experience. This updated space is also home to Shore’s new 3D mammography unit, enhancing both comfort and advanced care.

Across the hospital, there has been an incredible amount of painting and refreshing happening — more than 35,000 square feet have been covered with 141 gallons of paint in just the last four months!

These improvements reflect our ongoing commitment to providing the best possible patient experience every time you walk through our doors.

SHARE: Our free Lung Cancer Screening Event is TOMORROW, and we still have TWO open appointment slots!

If you or someone you love:
✅ Is 50–80 years old
✅ Is a current smoker or quit within the last 15 years
✅ Has a 20–pack–year smoking history (ex: 1 pack/day for 20 years, or 2 packs/day for 10 years)

…you may qualify for a FREE annual Low-Dose CT scan, the most effective way to detect lung cancer early, when it’s most treatable. Call 609-653-3923 to schedule your appointment now!

Early detection saves lives. For the most common type of lung cancer (NSCLC), 63% of people diagnosed at a localized stage live at least five years, compared to just 7% when cancer is found after it spreads.

Don't worry - if you can't make it tomorrow, talk to your doctor about your lung cancer risk and make a plan to get screened!

On November 18, Shore Cancer Center, a proud member of the Penn Cancer Network, hosted its 3rd Annual Cancer Survivors Fair, a true labor of love led by Medical Oncology Nurse Laura Freire.

This special event brought together survivors, patients, caregivers, and generous local businesses to honor the journey of survivorship and offer support to those touched by cancer. Laura’s passion for patient care and well-being shines through, and we are so grateful for her dedication in making this day possible!

Attendees had the chance to learn from clinical experts, explore resources for physical, emotional, and financial well-being, and take part in activities designed to foster healing and connection, including chair yoga with Kira Evans of SMC, and creative expression with Darby Fitzpatrick of SPG.

A special thank-you to the local businesses and individuals who helped make the event extra special with donations and giveaways: Little Egg Harbor Soap Company, Esthetica Salon, Johnson's Popcorn, Chester's Bakery, Lowe's (EHT), Ears to You, Chemocessories, The Craftaurant, Zen Landing Wellness, Twist Pretzels, Chico and Sons, Chaynging Farms, The Coiled Serpent—and heartfelt thanks to staff and friends for their generous personal donations of handmade jewelry, knitted items, and more.

Events like the Survivor Fair remind us of the incredible strength found in community and the hope that grows when we come together to support one another. 🥰💜

We are incredibly grateful to the Ruth Newman Shapiro Cancer & Heart Fund for their generous $100,000 gift to help offset the cost of our brand-new GE 3D Sonographer Pristina™ mammography machine!

When our previous mammography machine broke this fall, their generosity allowed us to respond quickly and bring the most advanced 3D imaging to Shore, enhancing mammograms and stereotactic biopsies for our patients.

Mammography Technologist Marian Martello, pictured below with the new system, says:

"This system offers a better experience for everyone. It’s more comfortable for our patients, provides better imaging and precision for our radiologists and surgeons, and lets techs like me know I’m giving patients the very best care."

Thanks to our donors, including the RNS Cancer & Heart Fund, we can continue providing cutting-edge care and peace of mind to the women in our community. 🩷

Calling all Shore Medical Center NICU graduates and families! We would love for you to join us for a very special celebration at the Auxiliary Tree of Lights ceremony at Shore on Wednesday, December 3, from 5 to 5:30 pm in our lobby. 🎄

This year, we are honoring our incredible NICU staff and celebrating children who have graduated from their care. At the event, your child will receive a special ornament, one to hang on the tree and one to take home, and you’ll have the chance to reconnect with some of the nurses and doctors who may have cared for your baby and family during those early days.

The Tree of Lights is a beloved tradition where our community comes together to celebrate hope and healing. We hope you can join us this year! To register your family, call 609-653-4646. If you’d like, you can also make a donation to support the Tree of Lights at the link below, but please note that it is not required.

Today at Shore Medical Center, we gathered to honor the service and sacrifice of our veterans. This reel highlights moments from the ceremony, beginning with a clip from Michael Green’s powerful rendition of the national anthem, followed by remarks from Shore CIO Fred Banner, and SPG’s Dr. Greg Herman who specifically recognized medical corps veterans. We closed with a moving pinning ceremony as three Vietnam War veterans affiliated with Shore, one posthumously, received commemorative pins marking the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. They include retired Shore President & CEO Rick Pitman, Guy Schlachter from our Receiving Department, and Woodrow William Adams, a Marine killed in action and the brother of Medora Adams Lyttle of our dining services team, who accepted the pin in his honor.

Thank you to all who served. We are forever grateful.

Please join us in congratulating Amera Wilson, Shore's November Guardian Angel of the Month! Amera has been a Guest Service Representative with Shore's dining services since February 2023.

“Amera is conscientious in her work with both patients and co-workers,” said Tim Haring, Amera's manager. “She consistently strives to deliver memorable patient experiences—whether through bedside meal ordering service or while delivering and collecting nutrition trays. She’s thoughtful, professional, and a wonderful member of our team.”

A patient recently made a Guardian Angel donation to Shore in Amera's honor and shared:

"My wife was in and out of the hospital this past year, so we both had the pleasure of getting to know Amera. It’s clear that Amera puts genuine effort into her work – not just taking a meal order, but in the way she connected with my wife. Her visits would bring joy to my wife’s day and that meant so much to us. Thank you for making a difference in her hospital stay!”

Amera, thank you for the love and care you provide patients and families! We're so grateful for you!

Shore Medical Center’s Guardian Angel program allows patients and families to honor staff who make a meaningful impact on their care. Guardian Angels receive peer recognition and a special pin at Shore’s annual ceremony. To recognize a Guardian Angel, call 609-653-3800 or visit www.GivetoShore.org.
