Play is the most natural way that kids learn ... Two years ago we were honored to be one of the radiology departments to receive a LEGO MRI set from the Lego Foundations' Learning Through Play initiative. Sharing the video we made in June 2022 as a #TBT 🧱 From the Lego Foundation: "The LEGO MRI Scanner is developed with a child-centered focus and learning through play approach, which strengthens children’s skill development. The model is designed around the child’s MRI treatment, and is a means for clinicians to facilitate both role play and dialogue so that the child feels safe and can build confidence and resilience before the actual journey, in turn reducing stress and anxiety. Play motivates the child’s natural curiosity and openness to try new, sometimes difficult, experiences." #MRI #patientexperience #healthcare #tbt #LearningThroughPlay #LEGOFoundation #LEGOGroup

Compared with alternative tests that can be intrusive and painful, Multiparametric MRI is a standard MRI that requires no endorectal coil. The improved accuracy of tumor detection also potentially reduces the number of biopsies needed. By clearly defining tumor location, multi-parametric MRI allows more accurate tumor staging, which is integral to treatment planning and dosage of radiotherapy. Just another way Shields Health is here for your and your family with the most advanced patient care. Advanced prostate MRI is offered 16 locations in our network. #PCAM #prostatecancerawarenessmonth

This Labor Day we pay tribute to the contributions and achievements of the working men and women who paved the way for all of us. Did you know – before it was a federal holiday, #LaborDay was recognized by labor activists and individual states? Massachusetts was one of the first five states to pass laws securing the holiday, seven years before President Cleveland signed a bill declaring it a National Holiday. Happy Labor Day, one and all!

If you have had the opportunity to meet Beth Roddy, the ASC Administrator at the Surgery Center in Shrewsbury, this will come as no surprise. Known at Shields for her impactful leadership and hands-on approach, we were so excited to have been informed that she has been honored with the Volunteer of the Year Award for her exceptional contributions to the SurgiCorps Guatemala Mission. This recognition highlights Beth's deep commitment to providing life-changing medical care to underserved communities, a passion she has nurtured throughout her nearly 25-year career as a nurse. This year, Beth completed her fifth trip to Guatemala, where she and her team performed 134 surgeries. Reflecting on the experience, she says, "I am so thankful and appreciative for this opportunity to help the amazing people of Guatemala receive the care they need. Beth's story is one of perseverance, passion, and an unwavering commitment to serving others. Her recognition as Volunteer of the Year is a well-deserved honor, and we are incredibly proud to have her as part of the Shields Health family. Congratulations, Beth!
