GIVING
Make an Impact at Southcoast Health
Your donations make exceptional care from people who genuinely care possible in Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
You Can Help Send a Book Home with a Baby
For a family in the Special Care Nursery at Southcoast Health, bringing their baby home is a moment they’ve been waiting for. You can make that homecoming extra special.
With a $10 gift today, you can put a beloved children’s book into the hands of a family as they leave the Special Care Nursery — a book they can read together as their child grows.
Will you help send more books home this year?
Give favorites like Goodnight Moon, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and The Giving Tree to babies and families in our community. Or donate monthly and give a treasured book to a new family leaving the Special Care Nursery each month — and encourage reading that supports their child’s development from the very beginning.
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.
