- SALEM, MA – Salem Hospital dedicated a new sculpture on its grounds Thursday, commemorating patients and families who were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and honoring its heroic healthcare workers who cared for the community during this historic and extremely difficult time. Officials say they hope it will serve as a place of reflection for the entire Salem Hospital family and a reminder of the vital role we all play in caring for one another. When the world was facing fears, and so much uncertainty about exactly what we were dealing with, this team…rose up with compassion, courage and such a dedication to care for patients,” said president and chief operating officer Roxanne Ruppel, “I hope this space, and these sculptures really instill pride in what were able to do together.” In response, several medical units were converted to COVID ICUs to care for the sickest patients, outpatient COVID clinics and testing centers were created, while robust community outreach services were put into place to support prevention, care and vaccination efforts.

- As many health care facilities across the country, Salem Hospital is facing steady, increased demand for medical and surgical admissions. Data from Salem Hospital shows the length of stay for admitted patients has increased since the onset of the pandemic, suggesting that those requiring inpatient care are sicker than they were previously. Patients who deferred care, particularly preventative care, are arriving at the hospital with more serious illnesses and therefore are occupying beds longer.

- Eric Checkoway of North Andover has a long history with his primary care physician, Maurice Greenbaum, M.D., which dates back to when he was a high school student living in Newburyport. Introduced by NSPG last year, the MDVIP Program is a new approach to primary care that offers patients more time with their primary care physician and a more comprehensive plan for achieving their health and wellness goals. When he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma last year, Checkoway also learned how valuable that extra level of attention can be during a health crisis. “Not only did Dr. Greenbaum help nail down my diagnosis, he was also there quarterbacking my care during treatment and recovery,” says Checkoway. “He was in regular communication with my wife and me and all of the other doctors inv... Bonnie Polan, 60, of Danvers shares a similar sentiment for Brenda Minor, M.D., her NSPG primary care physician for more than a decade. The benefits of the concierge-style practice extend to the physicians as well. “I had thought about retiring and scaling back a bit, but now I can focus on providing care more thoroughly to a smaller number of patients,” says Dr. Minor. “It’s very invigorating at this point in my career to be able to invest so much time with my patients.”

- When a check-up with her primary care physician, Maury McGough, M.D., revealed a frightening diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia last summer, Cookie Melanson began receiving treatment at several hospitals within Partners HealthCare. This could have challenged the continuity and safety of her care, if not for a new form of electronic medical record EMR that followed her every step of the way. A Peabody-area realtor whose charity golf tournaments have raised more than $55,000 for NSMC’s Cancer Center programs since 2001, Melanson needed a specific type of chemotherapy for this rare cancer, as well as specialized cardiac care due to a heart attack she suffered in 2000. Unique expertise in this combination of care was readily available at Brigham and Women’s Hospital BWH, and Melanson’s trips into the city began. Melanson recuperated at Shaughnessy-Kaplan Rehabilitation Hospital and her cancer care was put on hold.
