Company Description:
South Shore Hospital is a charitable, not-for-profit, tax-exempt, regional provider of acute, outpatient, home health, and hospice care for the 700,000 residents of Southeastern Massachusetts.
South Shore Hospital's home health care division South Shore Visiting Nurse Association, includes South Shore Visiting Nurses, Hospice of the South Shore, and Home & Health Resources.
A difference in our people
Our 818-member medical staff represents all leading medical specialties, from allergists
to urologists. Medical staff members are board-certified in their medical specialties, having completed up to seven years of full-time accredited training beyond medical school.
No other hospital in Southeastern Massachusetts has such a large, experienced and diversified medical staff. Our 1,500-member nursing staff represents all leading nursing specialties, from emergency and critical care to community health. We employ more nurses than any hospital in Southeastern Massachusetts because we have refused to replace licensed nurses with lesser skilled patient care aides or technicians staff, as has been the trend in most acute-care hospitals.
We employ about 3,500 people, with a $169 million payroll. Our staff is supported by a team of more than 500 volunteers, who annually provide more than 68,600 hours of service valued at more than $1.7 million. No other hospital in Southeastern Massachusetts has as many employees or this level of volunteer support.
A difference in our programs

end of life ... and at dozens of intervals in between.
