We'd like to send a special "thank you" to Braintree Troop #83118!

As part of a community service project, these generous Girl Scouts recently donated a variety of handmade valentines and Girl Scout cookies to our Emergency Department Colleagues.

The valentines featured heartfelt messages of gratitude, thanking our team for all that they do and letting them know how appreciated they are.

We're grateful to Gemma, Penny, Jelena, and the rest of Troop #83118 for bringing some extra sweetness to our colleagues!

When Penny was born here at South Shore Hospital in October, her birth was unique: she was the first baby in New England to be delivered "en caul," or still fully encased in the amniotic sac, via C-section.

When Penny's mom, Jen, was diagnosed with severe preeclampsia, her care team outlined a plan to deliver her en caul at 27 weeks.

"We thought a lot about the mom's safety and the baby's safety, so that's why we took our time," said Zuzanna Kubicka, MD, Clinical Director of the Messina Family Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). "But literally, when we saw the baby being born and coming out of the sac, everybody took a deep breath and gasped."

Dr. Kubicka brought the idea of en caul births to us after researching successful programs in other countries and witnessing one in person at a hospital in Germany.

WCVB Channel 5 Boston recently aired a story on this remarkable birth, and a second en caul birth that followed here at the Hospital soon after.

We're happy to share that both babies and their moms are doing very well.

We're grateful to Dr. Kubicka and our care teams for their innovative thinking and commitment to doing what's best for our moms and babies!

"That stress test saved my life. That was the first indication for me that I had a blockage."

Sanjay thought his shoulder pain was due to the way he was sleeping. Instead, a stress test revealed it was due to a 90% blockage of the obtuse marginal artery.

Following the placement of a stent, Sanjay enrolled in our 12-week Cardiac Rehab Program to regain strength and confidence.

"The biggest lesson I learned is the heart is a muscle – the most important muscle we have," he said. "Like any muscle, the heart responds to training and weakens if you neglect it."

We're proud to celebrate a wonderful group of nurses this week: it's Perianesthesia Nurse Awareness Week (PANAW)!

Our perianesthesia nurses are a key part of our team here at South Shore Hospital, as they care for patients preparing for or recovering from the effects of anesthesia.

This compassionate group ensures that all patients are safe and comfortable before and after surgery and other medical procedures.

This photo, featuring special guest Pat Patriot, was taken at a recent Skills Day here at the Hospital.

Thank you to our perianesthesia nurses for all that you do!

We'd like to give a shoutout to our Nutrition & Food Services and Environmental Health & Safety Teams!

Over the past year, these teams have led our food waste recycling program with RecycleWorks, a program that has diverted 108 tons (196,200 pounds) of organic waste from landfills.

That’s equivalent to:

• 46 fewer cars on the road
• 139 gallons of gasoline not used
• 36 homes’ worth of electricity saved
• 329 trees grown for ten years

This program has positioned us as leaders in sustainable practices, well ahead of upcoming state regulations.

We're grateful to our colleagues for thinking about the environment and for making this powerful impact!

Recently, former patient Marlene Lopes returned to South Shore Health 14 years after completing her own breast cancer treatment to visit Suniti Nimbkar, MD and see how her generosity continues to support today’s patients.

Through her Marlene Lopes Breast Cancer Fund, she is helping purchase three underbody warmers for our Operating Rooms, improving comfort, circulation, and safety for surgical patients.

Since 2012, Marlene’s annual fundraisers have raised more than $132,000 to support breast cancer care.

We are grateful for her ongoing support!

“For many patients, these procedures can be stressful and overwhelming. I find it rewarding to be a calming presence and help ease patients fears. Being able to keep them safe and comfortable throughout their procedure is incredibly meaningful to me.”

As we wrap up Physician Anesthesiologists Week, we’re proud to spotlight Kunal Sampat, DO!

Dr. Sampat joined South Shore Health as an attending anesthesiologist in 2025, shortly after completing his anesthesiology residency at Tufts.

“I was drawn to the South Shore Health Team by its strong focus on caring for the community,” he said. “It’s a collaborative, supportive environment. Our team is genuinely caring, and this has been a great place to work and grow.”

If you need a procedure that requires anesthesia, Dr. Sampat wants you to know that you’ll be in good hands.

“Every member of our anesthesia team is incredibly skilled and fully dedicated to keeping you safe,” he said. “We love what we do, and taking care of you is always our top priority.”

Thank you for all that you do, Dr. Sampat!

Happy Anesthesiologists Week to our entire team!
