New Bedford is home to excellent health care provided by St. Luke’s Hospital, which is the leading health care provider in Southeastern Massachusetts, continually growing in scope and technologies to meet the diverse needs of the families of Greater New Bedford. St. Luke’s Hospital gives residents a wide range of medical services in a quick response time. These services include a cardiac care center offering the same level of technology available in teaching hospitals in Boston and Providence.

St. Luke’s Hospital was founded in 1884 and in 1996 it merged with Charlton Memorial in Fall River and Tobey Hospital in Wareham to form Southcoast Health System, which now has dozens of ancillary facilities throughout the region, including an assisted living facility, home health care and hospice, a wellness center and numerous outpatient medical services.

As part of Southcoast Hospitals Group, St. Luke's offers a wide range of free community health education and wellness programs, which includes a mobile health van. St. Luke's is a hospital everyone in our community can be proud of.
