BayCoast Bank Fuels New Bedford Health Center with $100K

BayCoast Bank has committed $100,000 to support the development of a new primary care center in New Bedford. This significant contribution is part of New Bedford Community Health's "More Access, Better Care - Building for a Healthier Future" campaign, which is transforming a former retail property into an advanced healthcare facility.

The new center is projected to significantly increase access to care, accommodating approximately 3,000 additional patients each year. This expansion is crucial as demand for primary care services continues to grow across the South Coast region. The facility aims to enhance care coordination and patient experience, contributing to improved long-term community health.

Construction is slated to commence in the fall of 2026, with the facility anticipated to open its doors in 2027. The campaign has already garnered substantial support, raising over $4.8 million of its $6.95 million target, highlighting strong community investment in accessible healthcare.
