St. Luke's Hospital is a Massachusetts hospital located at 101 Page Street in New Bedford, Massachusetts.
History
The hospital was founded in 1884[1] by the Protestant Episcopal church with large financial contributions from Horatio Hathaway, a church leader who was one of the founders of Berkshire Hathaway.[2]
In 1996 St. Luke's merged with Charlton Memorial[3] in Fall River and Tobey Hospital[4] in Wareham to form the Southcoast Health System.
In 2006, St. Luke's began building a new Emergency Department. Inside there are nineteen new private treatment bays. In 2008, The In-House Patient Pharmacy Department installed a Drug dispensing system throughout the floors called Pyxis Connect. While its operations continue in 2009 as the upgrade to the OR Rooms and Endoscopy Departments received new machines per room.
