The Los Angeles Dodgers aren't the only team to win back-to-back championships on the diamond this fall – and we bet they can't cook nearly as well as this group!

Congratulations to Team Nutrition & Food Services (NFS), which recently won another South Shore Health softball league championship!

Our NFS colleagues defeated Information Systems by a score of 11-5 in last week's title game, securing their sixth league championship.

We're grateful to the colleagues and volunteers whose efforts make this annual tradition possible! ⚾

National Radiologic Technology Week (Nov. 2-8) is a time to shine a light on the important work done by our medical and diagnostic imaging colleagues!

This year's theme is "The Kaleidoscope of Radiologic Technology," which illustrates how the various aspects of radiologic technology come together in a single vision.

Radiologic technology colleagues play an important role in a number of services and procedures across South Shore Hospital, ranging from mammography and ultrasound to interventional radiology and vascular sonography.

These colleagues are dedicated to efficient access to high-quality imaging for all patients.

We thank them for all that they do. Happy !

November 2-8 is National Patient Transport Week!

We’re proud to celebrate all of the hardworking patient transporters at South Shore Hospital, each of whom plays an important role in patient care and experience.

Our Patient Transport Team helps maintain patient flow by moving patients through the hospital safely and efficiently. This dedicated team also transports medical equipment, lab specimens, and more.

Many of our patient transporters are young students who are beginning their education and career in healthcare, and we’re proud to help them get started.

Fun facts about our Patient Transport Team:
• Over the past year, our team completed more than 274,000 transports.
• Tuesday is the busiest day of the week for our patient transporters, averaging more than 850 transports per day.
• Our Patient Transport Team once completed 1,072 transport requests in a single day.

We’re fortunate to have such a great team – one that literally keeps us moving!

Thank you, and Happy Transport Week!
