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.
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.
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.
Brown University Health (formerly Lifespan) is an American not-for-profit, academic health system headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island. Created in 1994 by the affiliation of Rhode Island Hospital and The Miriam Hospital, it operates an integrated network of hospitals, outpatient centers, and physician practices serving Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts. The system is the principal teaching affiliate of the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University.
In June 2024, Brown University and the system announced expanded affiliation agreements under which Lifespan would rebrand as Brown University Health (commonly "Brown Health"), accompanied by a $150 million university investment over seven years and governance changes; the public-facing rebrand began in October 2024. Both organizations remain separate and independent entities.
In 2024 the system broadened its regional footprint when it acquired Saint Anne’s Hospital in Fall River and Morton Hospital in Taunton from Steward Health Care, returning both to nonprofit status under newly formed Massachusetts subsidiaries.
