  • Bob Matthias, 55, of Lynn, arrived at NSMC's Emergency Department on a cold February night, all but unconscious. When he awoke in the NSMC Heart Center two days later, he learned how close he had come to dying. NSMC's ability to provide both emergency angioplasty and cardiac surgery on-site saved this man's life," says David Roberts, M.D., NSMC Medical Director of Cardiology. Dr. Thomas Vander Salm, M.D., NSMC Chief of Cardiac Surgery, replaced Matthias's heart valve and conducted a graft to completely bypass the blocked artery.

  • 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.

  • But the Burgers have not forgotten the care team that NSMC assembled to save their daughter’s life and have taken action to support a unique stress reduction program for pre-teen patients as a way of saying thanks. Unable to provide the care needed, the hospital referred the Burgers to NSMC’s Inpatient Child Psychiatry Service. To express their gratitude to the team that cared for their daughter, the Burgers have made a significant donation to NSMC’s Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program. We wanted to give something to NSMC that would both honor Dr. Bailey and Dr. Prince and directly benefit other families struggling with a pre-adolescent child,” says Deborah. “The Mindfulness program seemed like the perfect fit.”

  • With the encouragement of a friend who had recently had gastric band surgery at NSMC, she met with NSMC bariatric surgeon Bernard Benedetto,MD, and decided to have minimally invasive surgery to insert a gastric band also known as a lap band around her stomach. “I liked the band better than gastric bypass because it’s adjustable, could change with me and be removed if necessary,” said ... The post-operative program is what sets NSMC apart from other hospitals,” said James. “A friend had a gastric bypass at another hospital and because she had no follow-up support, her lifestyle and habits didn’t change and she gained back much of her weight after her initial weight loss.

  • Knowing I had been a cigarette smoker, that article really impacted me,” says Sheckman, who smoked for a number of decades. “I knew I had to take action.” Sheckman discussed her concerns with her NSMC primary care physician James Gottschall, M.D., who recommended a CT, or computerized tomography scan, at NSMC Union Hospital. Sheckman’s worst fear was confirmed when NSMC radiologist, Sarah Whitehead, M.D., reviewed the CT scan results and discovered a mass on the upper lobe of Sheckman’s right lung.
