Clinically Affiliating with South Shore Hospital
BWH and South Shore Hospital (SSH) in July entered into a clinical affiliation agreement to develop health care programs for adults living and working in a broad region south of Boston to the Cape Cod Canal and east from Norwood, Attleboro and Taunton. The agreement will allow for a cooperative offering of specialized surgical, cardiovascular, cancer, primary care and women's health services to increase the availability and access of advanced care, while enhancing conical continuity, quality and safety.
“We share a dedication to excellence in health care,” BWH President Gary L. Gottlieb said. “Working hand-in-hand, both institutions are embracing an opportunity to deliver the right care at the right place to best serve our patients.”
During the last several years, SSH and BWH have worked together to offer a comprehensive Breast Care Center, reproductive medicine, gynecological surgery and urogynecology. They also jointly established Brigham and Women's Surgical Associates at South Shore Hospital, as well as a Harvard Medical School-affiliated surgical residency program at the South Weymouth Hospital.
