Southcoast Health was also recognized as a best regional hospital for community access for demonstrating the community health system’s success in caring for patients across all socioeconomic groups.

President and CEO of Southcoast Health David O. McCready said that the achievement speaks volumes about the hospitals care. 

“I’d like to thank every one of our almost 8,600 physicians, providers and employees because this recognition is a testament to their dedication and commitment to delivering the best outcomes, and experience, for our patients," he said.
