How and when did the company get started? After many years practicing internal medicine in traditional healthcare settings, Dr. Carole Vincent founded Cohasset Concierge Medicine in 2026 with a simple goal: to create the kind of medical practice she would want for her own family. She believed patients deserved more time with their physician, easier access to care, and a stronger partnership focused on prevention, wellness, and long-term health rather than rushed visits and reactive medicine. Many of Dr. Vincent's former patients chose to follow her to the new practice because they valued the relationship, continuity of care, and personalized approach they had built together over the years. What products or services do you offer? Cohasset Concierge Medicine is a membership-based internal medicine practice serving adults throughout Cohasset and the South Shore. Services include preventive care and annual wellness visits, management of chronic medical conditions, women's and men's health, weight management, medication management, coordination of specialty care, and personalized wellness planning. By limiting the size of the practice, Dr. Vincent is able to offer longer appointments, direct physician access, and more individualized care tailored to each patient's goals and needs. What’s the one thing your business is known for, over your competitors and why? Time and relationships. The concierge model allows Dr. Vincent to spend meaningful time getting to know her patients, understanding their goals and concerns, and providing thoughtful, evidence-based care without the time pressures often found in traditional healthcare settings. Patients frequently tell us how much they value having their questions answered, feeling heard, and having a physician who truly knows them as individuals. Tell us an interesting and fun tidbit about your business. Cohasset Concierge Medicine was built around a simple question: "What would healthcare look like if the physician had enough time to truly know their patients?" That question continues to guide how we care for every member of the practice. Why did you decide to become involved with the Chamber? As a new practice in the community, we are excited to build relationships with local businesses and organizations and become an active part of the South Shore community. We believe healthcare extends beyond the walls of the office and are particularly interested in supporting community education around prevention, wellness, and healthy aging while collaborating with others who are working to strengthen our local communities.

How and when did the company get started?
A new time, a new name. On December 1st, our organization – which is more than 100 years old -- will have a new name: Croí Health. The name NVNA and Hospice reflects our past. The name Croí Health takes us into the future, reflecting all that we do, and our commitment to growth. This is not a merger or an acquisition. Just a new name. Why are we changing our name? Over the past 17 years since “Hospice” was added to our name, we have grown our services to include palliative care, open the Pat Roche Hospice Home, and expand our service territory to 27 towns in our region. Our goal is for our brand to represent the scope of care we offer today and not limit ourselves as our service offerings continue to grow. What does Croí mean? Croí (pronounced “CROY”) is inspired by the Gaelic word for "heart.” As Croí Health, we will still be the same non-profit organization you have always known, dedicated to expanding patient care access while maintaining the clinical excellence our patients and community have come to expect from us. The South Shore Chamber of Commerce brought together more than 250 members of the region’s business community on Thursday, November 6, at Leo’s Events & Restaurant in Braintree for its Annual Meeting.

How and when did the company get started? In February of 2020, at an interview to be a salon manager, I spontaneously asked about purchasing their mobile grooming van and less than a month later on March 9th of 2020, I was on the road. Less than two weeks after my opening day, all non-essential businesses were shut down due to the Covid 19 Quarantine. With no other way to reach the community, I took to social media advocating for pets, providing tips, tricks, and tools for pet owners to use while all services were closed due to the mandated shutdown. What products or services do you offer? Groom With Me is one-on-one luxury pet grooming in a crate-free facility with private grooming rooms. We focus on calm, assertive energy to provide quality grooming, training, advocacy, and wellness with patience, compassion, attention to detail, and love that you have been looking for your pet. What’s the one thing your business is known for, over your competitors and why? Groom With Me is known for being crate-free, providing quality grooming with quality products and service in a timely fashion. Not only do we service dogs, but also cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even parrots. We have been able to rehabilitate even the most nervous, aggressive, or reactive pets and even allow parents to accompany their pets to make the transition easier. Tell us an interesting and fun tidbit about your business. Something interesting about my business is that it started because I was a paralegal studying for the LSATs and struggling with how much time I was spending away from my kids. So, I picked up my grooming skills to help some neighbors, and then I worked for someone for a short while before realizing I had what it takes to create something successful on my own. I helped enough neighbors and friends to fill my weeks and then months and years! 2 fun tidbits are that during quarantine, I advocated for the return of pet grooming professionals and was interviewed by NBC 10 Boston and during the 2020-2021 school year, I homeschooled my 2 kids, in the 5th and 6th grade. In the mornings, we would do academics, and by the afternoon, we were in the grooming van, grooming dogs and interacting with people. Why did you decide to become involved with the Chamber? I became involved with the Chamber because it is heavily involved with developing communities and supporting businesses. I want to be surrounded by a group of professionals looking to rise up together. Another reason is because of Betsy Crupi. Since the first time I met her, she has always supported me and pointed me in the right direction especially when it comes to the people I should surround myself with. Thank you Betsy and the South Shore Chamber of Commerce!

Hospice:
Palliative Care: For many people, the diagnosis of a serious illness does not require the comprehensive services of hospice. Palliative care is a specialized medical care for people living with a serious illness. It focuses on providing patients with relief from symptoms and difficulties of living with illness. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the caregiver(s). We have created specialized programs specifically for the care of our palliative patients and have partnerships with several community facilities to ensure the absolute best care is provided. The South Shore Chamber of Commerce is proud to publish a new regional economic report developed in partnership with the UMass Amherst Donahue Institute’s Economic & Public Policy Research Group. This comprehensive study offers a retrospective look at the past decade, detailing the current conditions shaping the South Shore’s economy and community.
While the report reflects on where we’ve been, it also sets the stage for where we’re going. Serving as a critical foundation, the findings will inform the Chamber’s next phase of strategic planning—focused on driving regional growth in a post-pandemic environment. As we face the realities of an aging labor force and the lasting shift toward remote and hybrid work, our future efforts will center on crafting forward-thinking policy recommendations. From attracting younger talent to enhancing housing, transportation, and community amenities, we’re preparing the South Shore to thrive in a new economic landscape. Explore the report—and join us as we build what’s next. April was buzzing with connection, celebration, and community impact!
