Southcoast Health System & Southcoast Hospitals Group

About Southcoast

Dartmouth, Mass.

Southcoast Health System is one of the largest and fastest growing health systems in New England. Since its inception, in 1996, Southcoast has become a sought-after destination for health care professionals. As a thriving part of the New England medical community, Southcoast Hospitals Group offers practice excellence in an environment you want to call home.

Southcoast Hospitals Group links together three nonprofit community hospitals — Charlton Memorial in Fall River, St. Luke's in New Bedford and Tobey in Wareham. While each hospital retains its own identity, all three share one mission: To care for and improve the health and to promote the wellness of the individuals and communities we serve.

By bringing these three organizations together, Southcoast preserved the quality and accessibility of health services, while bringing newer, more advanced services to the community.

Working in conjunction with other health care providers and organizations enables Southcoast to improve health, contain costs and enhance the delivery of health care services.
