Boston Medical Center Health System announced that Good Samaritan Medical Center and St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center are officially operating as part of its health system, stabilizing care at both hospitals. 

Over the past several weeks, BMC Health System has been meeting with the leadership of Good Samaritan and St. Elizabeth’s, preparing employees to join the health system, and putting plans in place to minimize disruption to patient care during the transition. Patients at Good Samaritan and St. Elizabeth’s can continue receiving care in their communities with their trusted providers. 

The integration of the two hospitals with BMC Health System builds on Boston Medical Center’s existing clinical relationship with St. Elizabeth’s and deep presence in Brockton through the Brockton Behavioral Health Center. The integration also maintains access and continuity of care for the many members of the health system’s WellSense Health Plan, who are patients at Good Samaritan and St. Elizabeth’s.
