  COMMITTED TO OUR COMMUNITY
Southcoast Health is a charitable not-for-profit community health system that was formed in 1996 with the merger of Charlton Memorial Hospital in Fall River, St. Luke’s Hospital in New Bedford, and Tobey Hospital in Wareham.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE NOT-FOR-PROFIT?
About 60 percent of American hospitals are not-for-profit. A not-for-profit charitable organization is mission-driven rather than profit-driven. Southcoast is governed by our Board of Trustees — unpaid volunteers who live and work in our communities and dedicate their time to ensuring that every dollar spent goes toward our patients and the community. Southcoast Health must continuously reinvest revenue to recruit the highest caliber clinicians and staff, utilize state-of- the-art technology, and improve and expand our facilities. In other words, fulfilling our mission of providing the highest-quality care close to home.
We rely on your partnership and generous financial support to help us deliver this care day in and day out. Thank you.
