- The funds, announced by the governor’s office earlier this month, will be used to provide specialized expertise to Salem Hospital that will support discharges directly to a patient’s home, rather than to a skilled nursing facility or other long-term care setting. These funds will be a huge benefit to our patients, hospital, and the community,” said Lee Ann Baldini, director of case management at Salem Hospital. “Not only will more patients be able to return directly home, instead of being sent to a skilled facility, but we will also be able to discharge them faster – allowing greater access to other members of the community who need their beds.” The money is intended for AgeSpan and GLSS to hire personnel who work with Salem Hospitalto connect patients and their families with resources and services that ensure appropriate supports are put into place in their homes upon discharge. This grant provides community-based organizations, such as AgeSpan, an opportunity to strengthen our relationships with hospital systems and assure patients receive a well-coordinated discharge plan that supports their needs in community-based settings”, said AgeSpan CEO Joan Hatem-Roy.

- Today, patients at the Mass General/ North Shore Cancer Center have their tumors screened for many types of cancer to determine their genotype, or genetic “fingerprint.” This genetic intelligence is then used to match the appropriate “smart drug” that is specifically crafted to interrupt the cancer-causing mechanism, with minimal side effects, to the specific genetic mutation. O’Beirne is one of many patients who is benefitting from the comprehensive care and world-class research provided at the Mass General/North Shore Cancer Center. She is now enrolled in a clinical research trial evaluating the effectiveness of an existing EGFR-mutation “smart drug” that had previously proven effective in shrinking tumors in patients with advanced metastatic cancer. In O’Beirne’s trial, researchers are evaluating whether the drug—Tarceva— can prevent the recurrence of lung cancer in patients at an earlier stage of the disease.
