Say Thank You in a Meaningful Way
Our Southcoast Health Grateful Patient program provides our patients an opportunity to acknowledge exceptional care while supporting our mission of being More than medicine.
Whether you receive care at a primary care office or specialty site, VNA, Emergency Department, Urgent Care or at Charlton Memorial Hospital, St. Luke’s Hospital or Tobey Hospital, our Southcoast Health staff makes a difference in the lives of our patients every day.
A donation can be made to Southcoast Health in the name of a staff member or team who went above and beyond to ensure you had the best experience possible. These donations made by Grateful Patients, recognize our employees as Southcoast Stars. Our Southcoast Stars are given a special badge clip that celebrates and highlights the exceptional care they delivered.
The Southcoast Health Grateful Patient Program provides you the opportunity to recognize and honor the staff and caregivers who played a special role in your or a loved one’s healthcare.
How Will My Gift Help?
Each gift to Southcoast Health directly impacts the health of our patients and our community. Gifts, no matter the size, collectively contribute to the care we provide.
Your gift will enhance our ability to:
- Modernize, expand and build new facilities
- Invest in cutting-edge technology to provide transformative care to our community
- Improve community education and outreach programs to meet identified needs
These donations help advance our mission to deliver clinical excellence and a uniquely caring experience to every life we touch.
