  • In her own words: Roxanne C. Ruppel | Salem Hospital | Mass General Brigham
  • I knew very early on that I wanted to take care of patients. I never thought I would do anything besides taking care of patients, but as is often the case in healthcare, somewhere along the way an opportunity comes up in management and leadership. I think that in healthcare leadership, the more you can do to stay close to that patient interface, the more gratifying the leadership role is. We have incredibly dedicated people across all job roles - our physicians, nurses and staff are so devoted to our patients and community. We're continuing to develop programs and expand the way we can serve patients, with those two purposes working in harmony with one another.

  • Minimally Invasive, Maximally Beneficial | Salem Hospital | Mass General Brigham
  • Now, thanks to the generosity of Salem Hospital's supporters, the hospital has obtained a second robotic surgical system and is delivering a host of benefits to even more surgical patients. For challenging operations, where a patient may have scar tissue or inflammation because of previous surgeries or infections, a laparoscopic procedure may be too limited to achieve the desired outcome and could result in a switch to traditional surgery.
