- We are thrilled, but not surprised, by this outpouring of community investment, led by the visionary philanthropy of the Davenport family,” said Roxanne Ruppel, president and chief operating officer. “Taken together, these gifts will enable Salem Hospital to provide the best possible care across our community, treating each patient holistically. There has been a well-documented rise in the demand for behavioral health services in recent years, leaving health care systems straining to meet wide-ranging patient needs. By expanding this capacity, patients can be managed in practices that specialize in mental health care, rather than in busy Emergency Departments, inpatient units, and primary care offices. The psychiatric team works collaboratively with the medical team to more quickly address mental illness and care for patients more holistically, leading to better outcomes. Thanks to the Davenport Fund Committee and all our supporters, Salem Hospital is well positioned to provide truly integrated and holistic care to our patients in an area of critical need.”

Patients and physicians describe MD VIP in this video: I see this as an investment in my health,” says Danvers resident Burnett Crateau, a longtime patient of Dr. Minor and a member of the walking club. “The health assessment I received at my physical made it well worth the expense, and then on top of that, I’ve been happily surprised with the extra group activities.

- Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is self-administered by the patient using a mask inhaler giving them complete control during labor. A patient simply takes a few breaths of the nitrous oxide at the beginning of a contraction to help alleviate the pain, and within a minute it leaves her system. Unlike an epidural, nitrous oxide can be administered within minutes of a patient choosing to use it. Nitrous oxide is ideal for patients early in labor before they get an epidural, for patients who do not want an epidural or for patients who are too close to delivery to get an epidural. In addition to having little to no side effects on the patient or baby, nitrous oxide also allows patients more opportunity for movement during the delivery process.

- SALEM–Salem Hospital has received approval from the Department of Public Health to add 24 private patient rooms, netting the hospital an additional 13 medical-surgical beds, and improving the patient experience. Offering more private rooms is a significant improvement in our patients’ experience,” said David J. Roberts, MD, President of Salem Hospital. “The additional space enables us to admit patients more quickly from the emergency rooms and cuts down on wait times. It also enables us to convert our few remaining four-bed rooms into double rooms and provide more privacy for our patients and their visitors.” Data from Salem Hospital shows the length of stay for admitted patients has increased since the onset of the pandemic, suggesting that those requiring inpatient care are sicker than they were previously. Patients who deferred care, particularly preventative care, are arriving at the hospital with more serious illnesses and therefore are occupying beds longer.
