NEW BEDFORD, Mass. — Southcoast Health and Fun 107 announced today that the fourth annual Southcoast Health Radiothon presented by Fun 107 will take place at St. Luke’s Hospital in New Bedford on Friday, June 23, from 6 to 11 a.m. The event will help raise funds to support Southcoast Health’s regional pediatric program.

Broadcast live by Fun 107, the Radiothon will feature compelling stories from Southcoast Health patients, parents, doctors, nurses and staff, as well as guest commentary from community leaders and business owners. Generous sponsors, physicians and local dignitaries will be answering the phones during the Radiothon.

The Radiothon’s goal is to raise funds to support Southcoast Health’s regional pediatric services. All monies raised stay in the community from which it came, helping to create a long-term healthcare structure that will benefit the children of the region for many years to come.

Southcoast Health, in collaboration with Boston Children’s Hospital, provides pediatric care to children and families across the South Coast region. The pediatric program includes the kid-focused emergency room and inpatient hospital care at St. Luke’s, and consultation provided for pediatric patients at Charlton Memorial Hospital in Fall River and Tobey Hospital in Wareham.
