GIVING
Make an Impact at Southcoast Health
Your donations make exceptional care from people who genuinely care possible in Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Give the Gift of Early Detection
During Stroke Awareness Month this May and extending into the summer, Southcoast Health will meet people where they are — at farmers markets in New Bedford & Fall River and Gatemen baseball games in Wareham — to offer stroke education, blood pressure screenings, and practical support that can save lives.
A $50 gift puts a blood pressure cuff into the hands of someone at high risk for stroke.
This life saving tool gives patients the power to check their numbers, catch changes early, and follow up before a crisis happens.
With your support, Southcoast Health can teach our community to Act F.A.S.T. and save lives.
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.
