"On August 8th 1982 a line drive foul ball hits a four year old boy, Jonathan Keane, in the head at Fenway Park. Jim Rice, realizing in a flash that it would take EMTs too long to arrive and cut through the crowd, sprang from the dugout and scooped up the boy.
"He laid the boy gently on the dugout floor, where the Red Sox medical team began to treat him. When the boy arrived at the hospital 30 minutes later, doctors
said Jim's prompt actions were instrumental in saving the boy's life. Jim returned to the game in a blood-stained uniform. A real badge of courage.
"After visiting the boy in the hospital, and realizing the family was of modest means, he stopped by the business office and instructed that the medical bill be
sent to him.
"The spring following the incident, Jonathan was asked to throw the ceremonial first pitch for the Red Sox's home game opener. He gladly accepted and had the opportunity to reconnect with Rice."

Bittersweet moment as we celebrated Dr. Jim’s retirement yesterday afternoon! Some of our team members from years past came out to wish him a fond farewell, and gave a special toast to his longtime office manager, Mary Hyder! He expressed how grateful he was to have worked with such a wonderful group of women over the years, and to treat such wonderful patients. Dr. Jim has been serving the shoreline community since 1975 and has been an active member in his professional organizations, the Walter Camp Football Foundation, and the Lion’s Club of Branford. He’s played a meaningful role in our community and we know he will have plenty to do in this next chapter… We hope Dr. Jim enjoys a fulfilling retirement, but we know he will be stopping in from time to time! Cheers to Dr. Jim!

We really do enjoy learning and playing together!! It was great to be back at Mohegan Sun yesterday for the annual state dental meeting. Lots of good classes! And the cocktails and mocktails were pretty good too!

Fascinating how specialized teeth can be for each species! These would certainly give our talented hygienists a good workout!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It’s so important to celebrate the survivors and remember all the ones who lost their courageous battles. Just a friendly reminder to have your annual mammogram.

Sending lots of love this month to everyone affected by this awful illness. 💕

Our very own Dr. Hillary Mendillo and the Branford Yacht Club had another great turn out this year for Take A Vet Fishing. Thank you to all the volunteers that helped make this possible and a very big thank you to our Vets! Many fish were caught and a good time was had by all. 🎣🇺🇸

News 8’s Chief Meteorologist Gil Simmons took us there and spoke with organizers and participants.
