  • Press Item | Salem Hospital | Mass General Brigham
  • As is the case with all of his spinal stenosis patients, Dr. Medlock initially took a conservative approach to Korumpas’s treatment, referring him to Kelly Pajela, M.D., one of three physiatrists who work in his Peabody practice. Surgery is always the last step in the treatment process, when we can no longer keep a patient comfortable by other means,” says Dr. Pajela. “My role with Dennis was to provide nonsurgical treatment options such as medication, physical therapy and teaching him how to modify his physical activities.” More than 80 percent of all patients who have this type of surgery will experience a significant improvement in their function and a markedly reduced level of pain and discomfort.

  • In his own words: Dutrochet Djoko | Salem Hospital | Mass General Brigham
  • I hope that when people come to us, they find an institution where we treat the patient and not the disease. We must think about where this patient is coming from and be culturally competent in our care, supporting the patient not just in the hospital, but in the community as well. It's so important that we focus on the patients, but we need to equally focus on our providers, staff, janitors and everyone who works at the hospital.

  • Salem Hospital Celebrates 150 Years | Salem Hospital | Mass General Brigham
  • All these historical events from 150 years ago have a legacy that continues today, but there's one that stands out for the North Shore: when Salem Hospital first opened its Charter Street doors to patients on Oct. 1, 1874, thanks to a gift from Captain John Bertram. The staff has been here a long time and is committed to caring for patients as if they're a family member. If you're a doctor or nurse at Salem Hospital, you know that you're likely to run into this patient at the grocery store or your kids will go to school together. The generational phenomenon is true of patients as well. Suzanne calls it "grandma syndrome," as she has cared for the newborns of children who were her patients - back when they were babies themselves.

  • 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. Patients took notice of this innovative approach and opted for more than 450 procedures at Salem Hospital last year. For a patient like Roslyn Grosser, the availability of the surgical robot makes a difference.
