“With this new location, we are pleased to strengthen our capacity to accommodate the growing need for orthopedic, plastic and reconstructive surgery services across our region,” said David O. McCready, President and CEO of Southcoast Health. “With expert surgeons, advanced practice providers and an exceptional staff we are thrilled to offer these competitive and specialized clinical services conveniently in Fall River.”

Expanding treatment space by over 50 percent, this new location was specially designed keeping patients’ needs top of mind throughout the renovation. The location features a comprehensive casting room, state-of-the-art radiology suite with an overhead X-ray tube and upright image detector, and over 12 treatment rooms of various sizes to easily accommodate those in need of mobility assistance.

In addition, Southcoast Health is pleased to welcome orthopedic surgeon, Catherine Rapp, MD to the health system. She brings with her extensive experience in shoulder and elbow reconstruction.

“I am thrilled to be joining the outstanding orthopedic team here at Southcoast Health,” said Dr. Rapp. “As a specialist in shoulder and elbow surgery, I am happy to help fill a critical need for patients in the region and am looking forward to continuing to advance the care and services Southcoast Health provides to our community.”

Catherine Cioe, PA; Greg Goodwin, PA; Christopher Skeehan, MD and Craig Moores, MD will all be joining Dr. Rapp here moving over from the Robeson Street location. Patients can now schedule visits in the new space.

With the larger space, Southcoast Health is also excited about the opportunity to expand service offerings as needed within the region.
