Signature Healthcare Brockton Hospital, a 216-bed nonprofit teaching hospital founded in 1896, is the largest inpatient facility in Brockton and serves 21 surrounding municipalities. Following a devastating 10-alarm fire in February 2023, the hospital made a remarkable recovery, safely evacuating 160 patients and reopening in August 2024 with state-of-the-art upgrades. These enhancements include a new outpatient surgical center, a 12-unit behavioral health triage in the emergency department, modernized cardiac catheterization labs, a welcoming main lobby and a 1.5-megawatt solar array to reduce its carbon footprint. The hospital was rated “high performing” by U.S. News & World Report for treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, heart failure, hip replacement and pneumonia. The community hospital continues to prioritize seamless, patient-centered care through the rollout of Meditech’s Traverse Exchange, which supports improved interoperability and care coordination across regions and networks.
