“In partnering with South Shore Health, we are able to offer even more family fun, fitness, and seasonal events into the mix! We started using the space for our event programming last year and found that local families enjoyed it as a safe place for children to play and partake in popular happenings such as our music series, Derby Street Sounds. We've utilized it for several outdoor events like our annual Back to School Picnic and Boo Bash and it is also the home to our Woody Wall which just debuted its second iteration. We look forward to welcoming the community to the new green space all season long. ” says Sherri Schuler, General Manager of Derby Street Shops.
“South Shore Health is committed to redefining world-class care in the communities we serve,” says Gene E. Green, MD, MBA, President/CEO of South Shore Health. “The new green space, now known as Derby St. Green in partnership with South Shore Health represents our continued commitment to serve the health and wellness needs of Hingham and all of the surrounding communities.”
