Shields Health

Did you catch our new commercial this weekend?! Our motto—treat every patient like your mother—is at the heart of this new campaign, and we're so excited to share it with you. Since our founding we've followed these words and we're thrilled to showcase them in ads featuring moms going the extra mile for their kids, the way Shields does for their families. We hope you and yours had a very happy Mother's Day. She's your MVP. She's ours too. 💐 #MomisOurMVP

The Boston Marathon is one month away! If you're a runner headed back outside to brave the pavement, you may be tempted to squeeze in some extra miles to enjoy the sunshine. Be careful, and be informed. Check out our blog post to read about one of the most common runner’s injuries: patellar tendonitis, or “jumper’s knee”. #mri #runnersinjury hubs.ly/Q045N9l00

Shields Cares has been part of our story for years, and it’s been inspiring to see our Give Back Days grow and evolve. Hear from Leigh on how this initiative has expanded—helping to strengthen our culture while bringing us back into the community in ways that reflect our core values of character, kindness, and growth. Recently, our Shields Cares volunteers joined our friends at BAMBSI on one of their Brown Bag days to deliver 14,000 pounds of food to more than 700 seniors in Brockton. Where our story began! That’s what community in action looks like.

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 diagnostic imaging. MRI has always been beneficial for neurological studies. Sonic DL 3D MRI technology takes it to the next level by helping patients get answers faster. Listen as Nicole shares how improved clarity in brain imaging studies led to a much needed treatment plan for a patient.

Today is International Women's Day – a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.

Let's stand alongside them. #IWD2026 #InternationalWomensDay #GivetoGain

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month – a disease that affects 200 million women and girls worldwide. MRI is a powerful tool that can help. Deeper structures can be difficult to see by ultrasound and an MRI exam is an excellent solution for an accurate diagnosis, but it is vastly underused. Read our blog post below to learn just how important it is to have a broader awareness of this disease so it can be diagnosed properly – and as early as possible: bit.ly/4aV1epO

Imagine finally completing an MRI you’ve never been able to complete because of claustrophobia. That’s what happened for one of our recent patients. At Shields, our technologists took the time to talk her through every step, and our advanced MRI technology meant her scan was done in a fraction of the usual time—comfortably and successfully. Faster scans. Compassionate care. That’s the Shields Health difference.

It's still snowing in most of Massachusetts, so please, stay safe while shoveling snow! ❄️ After any storm, there’s an uptick in fractures due to falling and slipping on ice, strained back muscles. And at Shields, one of the top reasons that patients have an MRI is pain in their lower back and specifically for lumbar disc displacement – a condition that can be directly related to an activity that puts a lot of pressure on your back, like shoveling. Make sure to have proper shoveling form: ✅ Bend from the hips and knees and lift with your legs ✅ Turn your entire body if you need to rotate (don't twist!) ✅ Keep the shovel close to your body ✅ Don't forget to pace yourself, and hydrate! Stay safe and healthy!

Understanding your risk of heart disease is the first step to attaining better heart health. Risk factors such as high blood pressure or cholesterol generally don’t have obvious signs or symptoms so it is important to see your provider for a thorough checkup and risk assessment. And, due to new technological advances, cardiac MRI is widely used to diagnose numerous cardiovascular conditions. Learn more about when and why an MRI might be recommended. hubs.ly/Q03_Xv5C0 #AmericanHeartMonth #OurHearts
