GIVING
Make an Impact at Southcoast Health
Your donations make exceptional care from people who genuinely care possible in Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
A small need can quickly become a serious crisis.
For a senior recovering at home, not having a transfer bench or grab bar can make everyday tasks unsafe. For a family caring for a loved one with a serious illness, an overdue utility bill or an empty refrigerator can add overwhelming stress to an already difficult time.
Your gift to the Southcoast Health at Home Patient and Caregiver Fund helps meet these urgent needs. Created by caregivers, the fund provides essentials like groceries, assistive equipment, clothing, utility assistance and other critical support.
Your generosity can provide More than Medical Care
Every day, our clinicians see needs that may never appear in a medical chart but have a profound impact on healing and quality of life. A gift of just $25 can help purchase a bathroom handrail, while $100 can help provide meals for a patient in need.
You Can Help Support Clinical Excellence and Patient Care
Philanthropic support is vital to ensure that Southcoast Health remains at the forefront of modern medicine and provides our patients with the level of care they deserve.
Clinical Excellence
Your gift to Clinical Excellence fuels the growth of our healthcare organization, advancing clinical care, expanding outreach and ensuring every patient receives the highest standard of treatment.
Patient Care
Your gift to Patient Care goes beyond treatment. From access to medications to help with housing or food, your support meets patients where they are—providing dignity, relief and the care every person deserves.
