South Shore Health System and Brigham Health Announce Partnership to Bring Medical Center to Quincy
South Shore Health System (SSHS), a member of The New England Council, has announced that it will be partnering with Brigham Health in the construction and operation of a medical building in downtown Quincy. Brigham Health is part of Partners HealthCare, also a Council member. This project marks the latest in a series of collaborative initiatives between the two organizations.
The new
facility will be constructed as part of a redevelopment program in downtown
Quincy. While no specific plans for the medical building’s use have been
released, there is talk that it will offer some outpatient surgical services
and ambulatory care. In addition to this joint facility, SHSS also intends to
open a primary care practice in the summer of 2019.
Dr. Gene E.
Greene, president and CEO of South Shore Health System, commented, “As the
leading community healthcare provider on the South Shore, we must meet our
patients and families where they need us the most – in their community and
close to home.”
“This collaboration builds on our longstanding clinical partnership with South Shore Health System to ensure that the expert specialty care we provide in oncology, neurology, surgery and women’s health is accessible in the community,” said Dr. Betsy Nabel, president of Brigham Health.
The New
England Council praises the collaborative efforts of these two member hospitals
to provide the highest standard of medical care, and to reinvigorate the community
of downtown Quincy.
