Lists Hospitals in Massachusetts

Saint Anne's Hospital is a non-profit, Catholic community hospital serving southeastern Massachusetts and nearby Rhode Island. Located at 795 Middle Street in Fall River, Massachusetts, the 196-bed facility is part of Brown University Health (formerly Lifespan), Rhode Island's largest health system. Founded in 1906 by the Dominican Sisters of the Presentation, the hospital has served Fall River's diverse community for over a century. [1]

Contents

The hospital provides comprehensive medical and surgical services including emergency care, cancer treatment, orthopedics, cardiology, and pain management. Saint Anne's operates from its main campus opposite Kennedy Park and St. Anne's Church, along with several regional outpatient facilities throughout southeastern Massachusetts. The Center for Orthopedic Excellence has earned The Joint Commission's Advanced Certification for Total Hip and Total Knee Replacement. [2]

As of October 2024, Saint Anne's joined Brown University Health following its acquisition from the bankrupt Steward Health Care system. The transition marked the hospital's return to non-profit status after 14 years of for-profit ownership, positioning it within an academic health system affiliated with Brown University's Warren Alpert Medical School. [3] [4]

History

Founding and early years (1906–1960s)

Saint Anne's Hospital was established in 1906 by the Dominican Sisters of the Presentation. [1] [5] A contemporaneous summary produced for the hospital's centennial notes that it was founded "to treat the largely unmet health care needs of the immigrant and poor populations of Fall River." [6]

Growth and modernization (1960s–2000s)

The hospital expanded clinical programs and facilities in the late 20th century. Its Regional Cancer Center dates to 1976 and today provides oncology services in Fall River and Dartmouth. [7] [8] In 2010–2011, the hospital undertook a capital project that included an expanded emergency department and new operating rooms; the emergency department opened in 2011 as a 13,000-square-foot unit with 27 private rooms and a dedicated behavioral health suite. [9] [10]

During this period, Saint Anne's operated within Caritas Christi Health Care, a nonprofit Catholic health system affiliated with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston. [6] [11]

Steward Health Care era (2010–2024)

In 2010, Caritas Christi (including Saint Anne's) agreed to be acquired by the newly formed Steward Health Care System, an affiliate of Cerberus Capital Management; regulatory and Church approvals followed later that year, converting the system to for-profit status. [12] [13] [14] By the early 2020s, Steward operated 31 hospitals in eight states; the company filed for Chapter 11 protection on May 6, 2024, amid approximately $9 billion in debt. [15] [16] State officials warned of potential service disruptions during the sale process, and two Massachusetts hospitals in the Steward network closed in mid-2024. [17] [18]

Transition to Brown University Health (2024–present)

In September 2024, a federal bankruptcy judge approved sales of six Steward hospitals in Massachusetts, including the sale of Saint Anne's Hospital and Morton Hospital to Lifespan for a reported $175 million combined; the transactions closed on October 1, 2024, returning Saint Anne's to nonprofit status under Lifespan (later rebranded Brown University Health). [19] [20] [21] [3] On October 16, 2024, Lifespan announced its rebranding as Brown University Health following new affiliation agreements with Brown University. [4] [22]

Campus and facilities

Main campus

The hospital's main campus occupies a site at 795 Middle Street in Fall River, directly across from Kennedy Park and the historic St. Anne's Church and Shrine. The location has served as the hospital's primary site since its founding, though the facilities have been extensively modernized and expanded over the decades. [23]

The main hospital building houses:

Saint Anne's operates several outpatient facilities throughout southeastern Massachusetts: [23]

Medical services

Emergency services

Saint Anne's operates an emergency department at its main campus in Fall River. The unit opened in 2011 as a 13,000-square-foot facility with 27 private rooms, a six-room behavioral health suite, on-site diagnostics, and 24-hour emergency care and interpreter services. [10] The department is not designated as a trauma center by Massachusetts regulators. [28]

Center for Orthopedic Excellence

Orthopedic care is organized through the hospital's Center for Orthopedic Excellence, which holds The Joint Commission's Advanced Certification for Total Hip and Total Knee Replacement and a disease-specific certification in spine surgery. [2] [29] The program also reports Blue Distinction recognitions and the use of robotic-assisted techniques for select joint procedures. [1]

Cancer care

The Saint Anne's Hospital Regional Cancer Center, founded in 1976, provides medical oncology and hematology in Fall River and Dartmouth and offers radiation oncology and surgical oncology services through the center's sites and the Hudner Oncology Center on the main campus. [7] [26]

Cardiac services

Cardiology services include noninvasive testing and interventional cardiology. The hospital operates an on-site cardiac catheterization laboratory that provides diagnostic and emergency interventional procedures, including around-the-clock primary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction. Additional services include echocardiography, stress testing, nuclear imaging and device checks, with cardiac rehabilitation available through the Brown University Health Cardiovascular Institute. [30] [31]

Additional services

Saint Anne's offers a range of inpatient and outpatient services at the main campus and affiliated sites, including:

Quality and patient safety

Saint Anne's Hospital has received recognition from independent rating organizations for patient safety and quality of care. The hospital has earned an "A" grade from The Leapfrog Group for 27 consecutive grading cycles, a streak dating to the program’s inception in 2012; this places it among 11 hospitals nationwide to have received the “Straight A” designation 27 times, and as of 2023 it was among 20 hospitals to have maintained straight A’s throughout the program’s history. [34] [35] [36] Leapfrog describes its Hospital Safety Grade as focusing on prevention of medical errors and patient harm, using more than 30 national performance measures and updating results twice annually. [34]

In the 2024–25 Best Hospitals ratings, U.S. News & World Report listed Saint Anne’s as “High Performing” in four adult procedures and conditions: colon cancer surgery, lung cancer surgery, prostate cancer surgery, and leukemia, lymphoma & myeloma; additional specialty ratings are reported with performance varying by category. [37]

Healthgrades lists multiple distinctions for the hospital, including the Patient Safety Excellence Award (2024), which places the hospital in the top decile nationally for patient safety, and the Outstanding Patient Experience Award (2025, 2023) based on HCAHPS survey data; it also notes five-star recognition in selected cardiac, orthopedic, prostate surgery, and critical care measures. [38] [39]

Additional quality designations include the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines–Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award (2024), Commission on Cancer accreditation for the Saint Anne’s Hospital Regional Cancer Center, and accreditation as a comprehensive center under the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP). [1] Saint Anne’s is accredited by The Joint Commission and holds disease-specific care certifications for orthopedic and spine surgery programs. [2]

The hospital reports an emphasis on a culture of safety and the use of protocols intended to reduce infections, medical errors, and other preventable complications, aligning with its external ratings over more than a decade. [34] [38]

Operations and statistics

Hospital classification

The Massachusetts Center for Health Information and Analysis classifies Saint Anne's as a mid-size community hospital with a high public-payer mix, indicating that a significant portion of its patients are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or other government insurance programs. [28]

Capacity and utilization

Employment

Saint Anne's Hospital is a major employer in the Greater Fall River area. As of HFY2022, the hospital reported 1,081.99 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions to the Massachusetts Center for Health Information and Analysis (CHIA). [28] As part of Brown University Health, Saint Anne's is also within a system that employs approximately 20,000 people across Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts. [35]

In December 2018, approximately 800 service, technical, maintenance, and business office employees at Saint Anne's voted to join 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East; those units are represented by 1199SEIU. [40] [41] [42]

Saint Anne's describes a shared-governance nursing practice supported by a Nursing Practice Council and a Clinical Practice Ladder based on Patricia Benner's model (novice to expert), with an additional "scholar" tier recognizing advanced practice, education, and leadership. The hospital also highlights preceptorship for new graduates and annual recognition programs (e.g., Nurse of Distinction; Chief Nursing Officer Leadership Award). [43] [44]

The hospital advertises career pathways and scholarships, including a Nursing Memorial Scholarship administered through the hospital to support nursing education. [45]

Financial performance

Since October 1, 2024, Saint Anne's has operated as a nonprofit hospital within Brown University Health. Financial reporting for Saint Anne's is consolidated with the health system, which publishes audited, system-wide results in its annual report. For FY2024, Brown University Health reported total operating revenue of $3.53 billion, total operating expenses of $3.47 billion, $58.4 million in income from operations, and $105.5 million in excess of revenue over expenses (system-wide). [46] [47] The system reported $17.7 million in operating income in Q1 FY2025 (quarter ended December 31, 2024). [48]

Before the October 2024 acquisition, CHIA's hospital profile for HFY2023 (when the facility operated as Steward Saint Anne's Hospital) reported $344.7 million in operating revenue, $347.1 million in total revenue, $2.3 million in non-operating revenue, and a $38.5 million total surplus, for a total margin of 11.1%. CHIA classified Saint Anne's as a Community – High Public Payer hospital with a public-payer mix of 73.3%, 211 licensed beds, 164 staffed beds, 79.6% occupancy, and a commercial statewide relative price of 1.04 (CY2022). The profile notes that Steward did not provide audited system financial statements for HFY2023 and that the hospital's figures reflect data as filed; it also flags that the change in ownership occurred in HFY2024, after the period covered by the profile. [49]

Governance and leadership

Ownership and system. Saint Anne's Hospital is owned and operated by Brown University Health (formerly Lifespan), described as Rhode Island’s first health system and the state’s largest. The system is academically aligned with Brown University’s Warren Alpert Medical School while remaining a separate not-for-profit 501(c)(3) entity. Founded in 1994, Brown University Health reports 16 member institutions, including academic medical centers, community hospitals, and specialty facilities in Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts. [22] [50] [51] [52]

System leadership. The health system is led by President and CEO John Fernandez, who joined in early 2023 after serving as president of Massachusetts Eye and Ear and president of Mass General Brigham Integrated Care. [53]

Hospital leadership. As of February 2025, Saint Anne’s is led by President and Chief Nursing Officer Carole Billington, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, who was appointed after serving as interim president beginning in September 2024 during the transition from Steward Health Care to Brown University Health. [54] Her prior roles at the hospital included clinical advisor, clinical resource coordinator, patient care director of peri-anesthesia services, director of surgical services/endoscopy and the cardiovascular program, administrative director of clinical operations, and chief operating officer/chief nursing officer. She holds a B.S. in nursing from the University of New Hampshire and an M.S. in nursing from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, is board certified in nursing administration (NEA-BC), and serves with the American College of Healthcare Executives, the Organization of Nurse Leaders, and the UMass Dartmouth College of Nursing and Health Sciences Advisory Board. [55]

Oversight and medical staff. Executive oversight is provided by Sarah Frost, MBA, Chief of Hospital Operations for Brown University Health and President of Rhode Island Hospital and Hasbro Children’s Hospital, whose remit includes system-level standardization of quality and safety functions; the medical staff spans multiple specialties, with many physicians holding privileges across Brown University Health facilities and departments organized around major service lines such as orthopedics, oncology, cardiology, emergency medicine, and surgery. [56] [52]

Board governance. During the transition from Steward ownership, Sister Vimala Vadakumpadan chaired the hospital’s board of directors and oversaw integration into the Brown University Health system. [57]

Academic affiliations

As part of Brown University Health, Saint Anne's Hospital has established connections to Brown University's Warren Alpert Medical School, though the full extent of academic programs is still being developed following the October 2024 acquisition. [58]

Current academic activities

According to hospital leadership, the integration with Brown University Health provides access to academic resources and collaboration opportunities with the health system's three teaching hospitals associated with the Warren Alpert Medical School. These connections are expected to enhance Saint Anne's programs through: [58]

Future academic development

Hospital President Carole Billington noted in March 2025 that Brown Health's emphasis on innovation and research presents opportunities for Saint Anne's to expand its academic role. The hospital is beginning to access new resources and work with academic leaders to grow programs that will benefit the southeastern Massachusetts community. [58]

While specific residency programs or medical student rotations at Saint Anne's have not been formally announced, the hospital's integration into an academic health system positions it for potential expansion of educational initiatives including:

The hospital maintains existing educational partnerships with regional institutions, including relationships with the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth College of Nursing and Bristol Community College through board participation by hospital leadership. [55]

Religious identity and mission

Saint Anne's Hospital maintains its identity as a Catholic healthcare institution, continuing the mission begun by the Dominican Sisters of the Presentation in 1906. [5] Following its acquisition by Brown University Health in October 2024, the hospital's Catholic identity has been the subject of ongoing negotiations between the health system and the Diocese of Fall River. [59]

In November 2024, Brown University Health President and CEO John Fernandez confirmed that the organization was "in the process of working out an arrangement with the Archdiocese of Fall River" regarding maintaining the hospital's Catholic identity and name. [59] Such an agreement would likely involve keeping religious items in the hospital and following Catholic ethical and religious directives for healthcare services. [60] Fernandez stated that an interim agreement had been reached with Diocese of Fall River Bishop Edgar da Cunha to "keep the name for now," noting that a sudden change would not be in the best interest of the health system or the Fall River community. [61]

Brown University Health continues to describe Saint Anne's as "a full-service, acute care Catholic hospital" in its official communications. [1] The hospital includes pastoral care services and maintains a chapel for patients, families, and staff. Saint Anne's location across from St. Anne's Church and Shrine reinforces its historical and ongoing connection to the Catholic community of Fall River. [23]

Community health initiatives

Saint Anne's Hospital conducts community benefit activities consistent with the Massachusetts Attorney General's Community Benefits Guidelines, guided by periodic community health needs assessments (CHNAs). [62] [63] [64] Programs have included health education, free and cancer screenings, support groups, and outreach delivered with community partners; the hospital also operates a Health Insurance Enrollment and Outreach Program that assists uninsured and underinsured residents, including help with applications, interpreter coordination, and referrals. [65]

Recent reports describe additional activities and volumes. In 2023 the hospital provided health insurance education and enrollment assistance to 2,143 individuals; delivered specialized behavioral health navigation to over 2,000 emergency and inpatient patients; supported a peer recovery coach program; and provided oncology and breast patient navigation to 1,145 and 289 patients, respectively. It screened 97.6% of inpatients for food insecurity in alignment with Joint Commission goals, hosted an on-site community farmers market with high SNAP/HIP utilization, and provided a monthly cash allocation to a local food pantry serving 23,000 individuals annually. [66]

Service area

Saint Anne's primarily serves the Greater Fall River region as defined in its 2021 CHNA—Fall River, Somerset, Swansea, and Westport—with additional patients drawn from surrounding Massachusetts and Rhode Island communities. [64] [35]

Future developments

Following the October 1, 2024 acquisition of Saint Anne's Hospital and Morton Hospital, system leaders said the integration would benefit patients and support reinvestment in hospitals and communities. [3] The system's expanded affiliation with Brown University includes a planned $150 million investment by the University over seven years to strengthen the health system's academic mission, rebranding Lifespan as Brown University Health. [22] [67] [68] As of August 2025, specific capital projects for Saint Anne's had not been detailed publicly.
