About St. Luke's Hospital

    St. Luke's Hospital, located in New Bedford, Mass., was founded in 1884 and is named after the patron saint of physicians, though it has never had a religious affiliation. St. Luke's currently has 407 beds in service and 28 infant bassinets and offers a full range of inpatient services. St. Luke's has a 40-bed psychiatric unit.

    In 1990, St. Luke's increased its home care services through a merger with the former Visiting Nurse Association of Marion. St. Luke's also has several satellite locations that provide rehabilitative services, psychiatric counseling, women's health services and oncology services.

    Most recently St. Luke's completed a $33 million expansion project that doubled the size of its busy Emergency Deparment and added 32 new beds, significantly improving wait times. Neurosurgical capabilities have also been expanded to provided advanced brain and spine procedures by highly-skilled neurosurgeons.

    As part of Southcoast Hospitals Group, St. Luke's offers a wide range of free, community health education and wellness programs which includes a health van.
