About South Shore Medical Center
South Shore Medical Center (SSMC) is an independent, multi-specialty private practice of over 60 physicians and mid-level providers. Since 1962, SSMC has provided primary medical care as well as a variety of specialty and ancillary services to patients throughout the South Shore.
In 2004, South Shore Medical Center joined four other multi-specialty groups: Dedham Medical Associates, Granite Medical, Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates and Southboro Medical Group to create Atrius Health. Although each group maintains its own identity, the entire organization is electronically connected with a common medical record and has joined together to provide many innovative shared programs. Atrius Health has 30 locations, over 1100 providers and cares for more than 650,000 patients throughout eastern Massachusetts.
At each of our convenient locations, we strive to provide a pleasant, personal and professional atmosphere where you’ll feel comfortable the moment you walk through our doors. Our mission is to provide quality, comprehensive health care in a multi-specialty group practice setting. And it is our vision that “by partnering with our patients and communities to make it easier to be healthy, we measurably improve their health.”
