Twenty-five years ago, Southcoast Health began its commitment to providing exceptional care from people who care, close to home and here in our community. And for 25 years, we have been humbled and grateful for the unwavering support of countless individuals and valued community partners who shared our goals and helped us achieve so many milestones along the way.
Our commitment to improve lives in our community remains as strong as it was in 1996 – as does our gratitude for the support and partnership from all of our friends and neighbors who are proud to call our region home.
Thank you for 25 years of trusting Southcoast Health to provide the exceptional care and service you and your family deserve. Your support is what makes our commitment to this community possible – then, now, always.
