Congratulations to all of the runners from Team South Shore Health, including Lindsey, who is always such a big help to our colleagues!

The big day is here: it's time for the 2026 Boston Marathon!

Our five Team South Shore Health runners have been preparing for this day for months, training hard and raising funds for behavioral health and cancer care programs on the South Shore.

Ali, Lindsey, and Sam posed for a photo prior to boarding the bus to Hopkinton, with Michaela and Tommy meeting the team at the starting line.

Good luck to our outstanding team and to all who will be running today!

What should you expect during a physical? Does insurance cover all aspects of a physical?

Erin Anderson, PA-C answers these questions and clears up some common misconceptions about these important appointments.

This once-a-year appointment is part of your healthcare for life, from birth through adulthood. And while a physical for a five year old will look rather different from one for a 75 year old, both appointments have the same goals – healthcare maintenance and prevention.

Did you know that our FAST Pass waitlist service is available for mammography?

Patients with mammography appointments at our Norwell practice or at the Dana-Farber Brigham Cancer Center at South Shore Health can now opt in to FAST Pass and claim an earlier appointment in the event of a cancellation.

After scheduling an appointment in MyChart, opt in to FAST Pass by clicking “Get on the Wait List.” Patients scheduling by phone can ask to be added to the waitlist as well.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐅𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐬?

We make every attempt to get patients in to see their provider as soon as possible — but sometimes there’s a bit of a wait, especially during times of high patient volume.

FAST Pass is a waitlist that allows patients to claim an earlier appointment if one becomes available.

Patients who use FAST Pass will receive a South Shore MyChart notification or email if a new appointment is available.

You can then choose to claim the new appointment date/time or keep your existing appointment.
