Austin O’Keeffe, MD, reflects on his career and retirement after close to half a century dedicated to improving the health and well-being of patients on the North Shore.

Last year, Beverly Hospital opened its newly expanded Behavioral Health Pod in the Emergency Department. The 10-bed unit provides a more spacious, therapeutic environment where patients can be evaluated and await a transfer to an in-patient psychiatric unit or other specialized care facility, if needed.

The team at Beverly Hospital is thrilled to have received a gift of $465,000 from the Evelyn Lilly Lutz Foundation to support recruitment and retention for key roles.

In April 2021, the Board of Trustees and teams at Beverly and Addison Gilbert Hospitals welcomed Tom Sands as our new president. In this role, Tom is ensuring our hospitals’ continued ability to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care to communities along the North Shore and leading the way for us to thrive well into the future.
