Big milestone for our PET/CT team 🎉

We’ve just scanned our first patient at our second fixed PET/CT site in the UMass network. Bringing two fixed PET/CT locations online in December was a true team effort, years in the making — congratulations to everyone involved.

Our Shrewsbury location has grown into a true center of excellence, and this latest PET/CT advancement is one more way we’re expanding access to high-quality imaging for our community. ✨

This holiday season, our Shields Cares Crew has been out in full force — and we couldn’t be prouder.

✨ Out in Western MA, some of our amazing colleagues visited the Ronald McDonald House of CT & Western MA, helping transform the home for the holidays with festive décor and preparing a warm, comforting meal for families staying there.

✨ And this week in Brockton, another dedicated volunteer group spent the morning at Father Bill’s & MainSpring’s Smith Family Housing Resource Center, where individuals experiencing difficult times were able to “shop” donated items, have their gifts wrapped, and enjoy hot chocolate served with a smile from our team.

Together, we are lifting spirits, supporting our communities, and making the season brighter for those who need it most.

How often can you say you're the first in the WORLD?! 🌎

Listen to Dr. Pechet describe the significance of Shields Health being the first imaging provider in the world to provide GE's Sonic DL 3D MRI. As the world of A.I. keeps rapidly evolving, so too does the capability of A.I. technology to provide faster, crisper MRI images, raising the bar for diagnostic quality and confidence. These advancements can make a world of difference to patients finding it difficult to get answers, appointments, or those anxious about spending too much time in an MRI.

We’re honored to bring this technology to our communities and to continue our commitment to innovation, clinical excellence, and a better imaging experience for every patient.

A peek behind the scenes at Shields Health 🎬

Yesterday we were on site in Concord and Framingham filming with News Maker Marketing—and celebrating the 20th anniversary of our Framingham center. Milestones like this highlight just how many ways we’re advancing patient care across our network.

From MRI to PET/CT, we’re investing in the future of imaging and patient experience. We’re excited for what’s ahead in 2026 and beyond! ✨
