South Shore Health

Recently, Bill Fallon, a member of the South Shore Health Foundation Board of Trustees, hosted a reception in Hingham. Longtime supporters of South Shore Health came together with community leaders to discuss the regional healthcare landscape, our response to current challenges, and the advanced care we’re able to provide at a local level. The highlight of the evening was Baba Shetty, a South Shore resident who detailed his experience at South Shore Hospital following a cardiac event that occurred in the fall of 2023. He expressed deep gratitude for the seamlessly coordinated, life-saving care he received from his friends and first responders on the scene and from our Emergency Department, Cardiac Catheterization Lab, and Cardiac Rehabilitation Program.

Our Cardiac Catheterization Lab Team recently reached a significant milestone: they performed their 250th FFRangio® case! The CathWorks FFRangio® System is a computer-based technology that uses x-rays of a patient’s heart to create a 3D model showing the size of their cardiac vessels and location of any blockages. This tool helps our cardiologists complete their clinical assessments more quickly, more comprehensively, without medications, and in a way that is more comfortable for patients In 2023, we were the first Cardiac Catheterization Lab in New England to adopt this innovative system. We’re proud to continue to bring this advanced technology to our community! Learn more about cardiac and vascular care at South Shore Health: https://hubs.ly/Q03fhKVD0
