Shields Health

The first Listening Tour of 2025 was in full swing this week! Twice a year our executive team hits the road to connect with our incredible clinical – hearing your stories, answering your questions, and expressing our deepest gratitude for your hard work. Tisha, our CFO, visited our teams in Gardner and Leominster, partnering with Heywood Healthcare and UMass Memorial HealthAlliance-Clinton Hospital to engage with employees at these centers. (Thanks for letting us shadow you with a camera, Tisha! ??) And from Lewiston, Maine to Hyannis down on the Cape, the face-to-face interactions we had this week are invaluable. YOUR diverse talents and unwavering commitment are what drive our mission forward ensuring exceptional patient care across all locations. Your feedback is crucial, and we're committed to taking action on what we hear. ???? Did you miss us in person? Keep an eye out for an invite to our Virtual Listening Tour session in April, an excellent opportunity for remote employees and those we couldn't visit this time around.

Brain injuries are complex. And as we advocate awareness, research, treatment, and education for Brain Injury Awareness Month, Shields remains steadfastly here for you, harnessing the power of Artificial Intelligence for 3T imaging. 3T MRI has always been highly beneficial for neurological studies. AI technology takes it to the next level by working in the background for every scan, reducing noise and artifacts to deliver consistently clearer, crisper images. https://bit.ly/3QcHHqL

Today is International Women's Day – a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. This year's theme #AccelerateAction is a a worldwide call to acknowledge strategies, resources, and activity that positively impact women's advancement, and to support and elevate their implementation. Celebrating each other's achievements and challenging biases is a great way to build fair and equal workplaces, a powerful step. Join us in accelerating action this month by mentoring a female colleague, advocating for equal pay, supporting women-led initiatives (or businesses!), or participating in events that promote gender equality. From grassroots groups to large-scale bodies, philanthropic entities are working tirelessly to support and advance women and girls. Let's stand alongside them. #IWD2025 #InternationalWomensDay
