- As a precaution, the first-time expectant mother from Danvers called her OB/GYN at North Shore Physicians Group, who suggested she pay a visit to the NSMC Birthplace. Paige was immediately transferred to NSMC’s Special Care Nursery, located on the Salem Campus, where physicians and nurses worked to stabilize her, placing a central line through her umbilicus to provide fluids and nutrition and a tube in her nose for oxygen. The days after Paige was born were terrifying,” says Sherman. “We were heartbroken that this child we had brought into the world was suffering, and we would have done anything to make her feel better.” The Shermans are one of 1,100 families served each year by NSMC’s Special Care Nursery, which is the centerpiece of the hospital’s neonatology program To better serve these patients, NSMC is planning an expansion and renovation of the Special Care Nursery, another step in the hospital’s ongoing enhancement of its inpatient experience. Looking back, Paige’s birth was the happiest saddest time of my life,” says Sherman. “It wasn’t the way it was supposed to be, but thanks to the expert and loving care we received at NSMC it turned out beautifully.”

- As a cardiac sonographer at NSMC, Dariotis is accustomed to handling health crises. “This time it was my child in distress,” she explained, “and nothing prepares you for that.” Terrified, she called Marblehead Pediatrics, where she has taken both of her children since they were babies. Staff there directed her immediately to the pediatric emergency room at NSMC. Pediatricians at NSMC, who are also credentialed at MassGeneral Hospital for Children, were quick to order a chest X-ray and run an H1N1 test. Working at NSMC, I knew that the level of care Krista was going to receive could not be matched anywhere else.” NSMC is linked to the same secure electronic medical record system used by Mass General and other Partners HealthCare hospitals, ensuring greater communication, efficiency and safety. “It really enhances the care we can provide,” said Dr. Miller. “I was able to track Krista’s progress and connect with Mrs. Dariotis frequently to make sure she understood everything that was happening.”

- Once in the Emergency Department, Brooks was treated by NSMC cardiologist Michael Goldstein, M.D., who admitted him for testing.

Thanks to the education he received at NSMC, Brooks now maintains a much healthier diet, walks up to 25 miles per week and practices chair yoga.

- The Beat Goes On for Gordon Hall and NSMC You would never guess that Hall is a veteran of several cardiac procedures to correct an arterial blockage and cardiac arrhythmia, performed over the last 10 years under the care of David Roberts, M.D., NSMC Chief of Cardiology.

Recently, Hall made a gift to support cardiology programs and services at NSMC as part of his estate plan. “Gratitude is a powerful motivator,” he says. “Dr. Roberts and NSMC not only saved my life but also have made it possible for me to keep doing the things I love.”

- In October 2013, after having her annual mammogram at the NSMC Women’s Center in Danvers—something she has done faithfully since her 30s—Velluto received a call from the office of North Shore Medical Center radiologist Kevin Callahan, M.D., asking her to come back in for another test because he saw something on her exam that he was concerned about. This year, Velluto’s screening mammography exam was conducted using tomosynthesis*, or 3-D mammography, a breakthrough technology that was developed by experts at Massachusetts General Hospital and is offered at both NSMC Salem Hospital and the NSMC Women’s Center. Through NSMC’s collaborative breast health program with Massachusetts General Hospital, Velluto was then scheduled to have a follow-up diagnostic examination done at the Breast Health Center at the Mass General/North Shore Center for Outpatient Care in Danvers. Like the test performed at the NSMC Danvers Women’s Center, this follow-up diagnostic imaging would also employ breast tomosynthesis. The Mass General/North Shore Breast Health Center and the Breast Health Center sites at NSMC Salem Hospital, NSMC Union Hospital, NSMC Women’s Center and Cape Ann Medical Center are accredited by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health Radiology Control Program and the American College of Radiology.

- As with so many other NSMC patients, the benefits of weight loss surgery reach far beyond a change in physical appearance. Soon after, Kirk went to one of the free information sessions offered by the NSMC Weight Management Program, which happen nearly every week at either NSMC Salem Hospital or at the Mass General/North Shore Center for Outpatient Care in Danvers. Shortly after his surgery, he was able to discontinue using the machine, an outcome that is not uncommon among NSMC weight loss patients. In fact, 92 percent of NSMC patients with sleep apnea stop using a CPAP one year after surgery.

- In February of 2015, a friend underwent weight loss surgery at NSMC and encouraged Shannon to look into the program, but, as Shannon put it, “I wasn’t ready.” The following month, when Shannon turned 35, she realized she needed to do something about the excess weight she was carrying around, especially because her primary care doctor had indicated she was borderline diabetic. NSMC’s support of its weight loss patients extends far beyond surgery. In fact, post-surgery, patients are required to follow up with NSMC’s Health and Wellness staff once a month for a year, and then every other month for the second year. Shannon credits this high level of support from NSMC, along with additional support from friends and family, as keys to her success. NSMC’s Surgical Weight Loss Program is now offering free information sessions at NSMC Salem Hospital and the Mass General/North Shore Center for Outpatient Care in Danvers.

- While the 59-year-old wasn’t initially keen on the idea, she agreed to explore the lung cancer screening program at NSMC. “I didn’t want to face the fact that my decision to smoke for so long could be affecting my health now,” Willard says. The lung cancer screening program at NSMC is designed to evaluate patients who have a history of smoking. Willard’s lung cancer screening, performed in August of 2015 at NSMC Salem Hospital, revealed a nodule on her lung. NSMC interventional radiologist Miriam Neuman, M.D., performed a needle biopsy that confirmed that the nodule was cancerous. Willard spent a week at NSMC Salem Hospital so her lung function could be monitored, and returned to normal activity within a couple of months.

- Another forum for members of the North Shore community to have a voice in the care delivery and safety programs at NSMC is the Patient Family Advisory Council PFAC. Co-chaired by Page and Ed Budelmann, a software professional from Ipswich, the 16-member committee helps NSMC fulfill a requirement established by the Department of Public Health that all healthcare organizations facilitate dialogue with patients and families in a formal manner. Being part of this group has been both an educational and eye-opening experience,” says Budelmann. “I have had a personal and professional connection to NSMC for many years and, through this group, I am still continually surprised and amazed by the complexity of healthcare today and the high quality of clinical services offered by the medical center.” Established in 2009, NSMC’s PFAC has been slowly building momentum over the past several years. Among PFAC’s upcoming plans are a series of focus groups with residents of a local retirement community to gain an additional perspective on different aspects of care at NSMC.

- An ambulance would have gotten him into an emergency room faster, and the driver would have known to take Kelly to a designated Stroke Center like NSMC Salem Hospital or NSMC Union Hospital in Lynn. Instead, Kelly sat in the waiting room, wasting valuable treatment time. The sooner we can assess patients with stroke symptoms the better,” explained Sanford Levy, M.D., the medical director of NSMC’s stroke program. “There are now medications that can be given to certain stroke patients to break up any blood clots in the brain and mitigate the effects of the stroke. Finally, more than six hours after his initial stroke, Kelly was taken by ambulance to NSMC Union Hospital and quickly admitted to the Intensive Care Unit. Kelly received speech therapy at NSMC Salem Hospital and has had a full recovery. In 2003, he wrote a series of articles about his experience at the NSMC Cancer Center for the Salem News. “Going through cancer—and now this stroke—has taught me that I’m not immortal.
