Founded in 1996, Southcoast Health is a not-for-profit, charitable, community-based health system offering an integrated continuum of health services throughout southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. With a physician network of over 900 providers, the health system serves as the largest provider of primary and specialty care in the region. Southcoast Health consists of three acute care hospitals – Charlton Memorial in Fall River, St. Luke’s in New Bedford (a Level II Trauma Center), and Tobey in Wareham and has established more than 55 service locations conveniently throughout the region. This includes six urgent care locations, post-acute care services, out patient surgery centers, two cancer care locations, and numerous ancillary facilities. Our clinical integration provides seamless network referrals to specialists and ensures continuity of care for patients. This all adds up to providing the right care, in the right place, at the right time, to best serve our patients and communities. We are growing and expanding our services to keep pace with the evolving healthcare needs of the region. This includes adding 13 specialized medical services to our primary care offices in Portsmouth, opening a new Ob/Gyn office in Fall River, and creating the region’s most comprehensive Pediatric Rehabilitation facility in New Bedford. Looking ahead, we are excited to expand our services to Taunton and will be opening a new Urgent Care center there later this year. Some of the most advanced procedures and innovative new treatments in medicine today are happening right here, and Southcoast Health has been nationally recognized for our high-caliber care. We have been included on Newsweek’s World’s Best Hospitals list for seven consecutive years, and our Heart & Vascular and Robotic Surgery programs have received prestigious recognition. In 2024, Charlton Memorial became only the second hospital in Massachusetts to earn Pathway to Excellence designation, a global credential that highlights Southcoast Health’s commitment to creating a healthy work environment where nurses feel empowered and valued.
