South Shore Hospital

South Shore Hospital is a charitable, not-for-profit, tax-exempt, regional provider of acute, outpatient, home health, and hospice care for the 600,000 residents of Southeastern Massachusetts. South Shore Health and Educational Foundation generates philanthropic support for South Shore Hospital and its home health care programs: South Shore Visiting Nurse Association and Hospice of the South Shore. South Shore Hospital has a reputation for excellence, whether providing care in the hospital, in the home, or in the community. Excellence in health care depends on the philanthropic spirit of individuals, businesses, and foundations. South Shore Hospital provides medical care to anyone who needs our services, regardless of ability to pay. That is why donations are so important: they bridge the gap between the medical care people need and what they can afford. Members of the Board of Trustees of South Shore Health and Educational Foundation are responsible for furthering the foundation's mission of raising philanthropic support for South Shore Hospital and its various not-for-profit programs.
