Boston Bariatric Surgery - Salem Hospital
On average, our patients lose 100 pounds in the first year following their procedure. Salem Hospital, a member of Mass General Brigham, offers patients a variety of bariatric surgery options, enabling patient and surgeon to select the procedure that offers the best potential for long-term weight loss and health improvement. The surgery promotes weight loss by reducing the amount of food a patient can consume. Gastric banding is a surgery in which an inflatable band is positioned around the stomach to reduce its size, causing the patient to feel full faster and to not be hungry between meals. Sleeve gastrectomy, a bariatric surgery in which most of the stomach is removed, leaving a thin sleeve that limits the amount of food the patient can eat.

Over the past 15 years, we have helped over a thousand patients to achieve dramatic, long-term results in weight loss and overall improvement in their health.

As an organization, we have created a number of new opportunities for our patients and families to be involved in the care we provide,” says Martha Page, R.N., Director of Patient Safety. By way of example, she cites the patient-centered rounding that currently takes place in the intensive care units and cardiac surgery unit; the new IPACE care model on Davenport 5 that centers around patient and family involvement; and the inclusion of patients on several process improvement teams. 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. Meeting on a monthly basis, the committee has been involved in a variety of projects to date, including the creation of a medication safety brochure and a new website offering information on patient safety and other related topics. The group is also creating a new recognition award to honor excellence in delivering patient-centered care. “Patients, families and community members play an extremely important role in enhancing the quality of care we deliver,” says Page. “Their firsthand knowledge is invaluable and I encourage any staff member or team looking for perspective on a project or initiative to consider runn...

The bi weekly appointments typically have four patients or more and start with a five-minute orientation about the plan for the appointment. All patients sign a confidentiality agreement not to share information about other patients. A medical assistant takes the blood pressure readings of all patients and then Dr. Parseghian reviews each patient’s case, asking and answering questions. Then the doctor or nutritionist educates the group about a specific subject and the patients share tips or challenges. In a patient with Type 2 diabetes, the pancreas does not secrete sufficient insulin, and the body is resistant to it.

Every Friday morning, Brenda Minor, M.D., a primary care physician with North Shore Physicians Group NSPG, laces up her sneakers and joins a group of patients at the Northshore Mall or a nearby park for their weekly “Walk with a Doc” walking club. Patient appointments run no less than 30 minutes and often last an hour so that patients can discuss their medical concerns in more complexity. Patients and physicians describe MD VIP in this video: I see this as an investment in my health,” says Danvers resident Burnett Crateau, a longtime patient of Dr. Minor and a member of the walking club. “The health assessment I received at my physical made it well worth the expense, and then on top of that, I’ve been happily surprised with the extra group activities. This latter point, Dr. Szymanski says, is important to emphasize in today’s increasingly complex healthcare environment. “As part of this program, we will oversee each patient’s care across the entire continuum, whether it’s a consultation with a specialist, a hospital visit, home care or rehab,” he explains. “We will act as the single point of contact for other caregivers and fam...

We are thrilled, but not surprised, by this outpouring of community investment, led by the visionary philanthropy of the Davenport family,” said Roxanne Ruppel, president and chief operating officer. “Taken together, these gifts will enable Salem Hospital to provide the best possible care across our community, treating each patient holistically. There has been a well-documented rise in the demand for behavioral health services in recent years, leaving health care systems straining to meet wide-ranging patient needs. By expanding this capacity, patients can be managed in practices that specialize in mental health care, rather than in busy Emergency Departments, inpatient units, and primary care offices. The psychiatric team works collaboratively with the medical team to more quickly address mental illness and care for patients more holistically, leading to better outcomes. Thanks to the Davenport Fund Committee and all our supporters, Salem Hospital is well positioned to provide truly integrated and holistic care to our patients in an area of critical need.”

Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is self-administered by the patient using a mask inhaler giving them complete control during labor. A patient simply takes a few breaths of the nitrous oxide at the beginning of a contraction to help alleviate the pain, and within a minute it leaves her system. Unlike an epidural, nitrous oxide can be administered within minutes of a patient choosing to use it. Nitrous oxide is ideal for patients early in labor before they get an epidural, for patients who do not want an epidural or for patients who are too close to delivery to get an epidural. In addition to having little to no side effects on the patient or baby, nitrous oxide also allows patients more opportunity for movement during the delivery process.
