Meet Andrea Laliberte, DNP, RN, Program Manager for Pathway to Excellence® and a Southcoast Health President’s Award for Excellence honoree. Andrea believes that More than medicine means supporting each other. “Southcoast Health is so special on so many levels; it’s truly a family. I’ve been here for 15 years, and it never feels like work to me. Supporting nurses is my passion. My goal as a leader is to keep them engaged and ensure they feel valued and cared for,” says Andrea. “I consider myself a teacher and a connector. If I know something, I want to share that knowledge with others and mentor them through challenging situations so they can grow and feel confident. All of that translates into providing the best patient experience. If I can make an impact on just one person, I call it a win.” Please join us in celebrating this wonderful achievement and the positive impact Andrea makes every day!

This year’s New Bedford Half Marathon was more than just a race – it was a testament to the dedication and generosity of our employees and community. Going the extra mile, 17 Southcoast Health team members ran to make a meaningful impact on patient care. Together they laced up their sneakers to support services across the system including Southcoast Health Heart & Vascular, Southcoast Health Cancer and Southcoast Health at Home. Thanks to the commitment of these runners and the generosity of their supporters, just under $13,000 was raised in support of Southcoast Health. Leading these efforts, Amy Fowler, raised more than $8,000 for the Southcoast Health at Home program and Tarl Brogan, who ran in honor of his father Russ Brogan and in loving memory of Armindo Camara, raised over $2,000 to support our cancer center. Meg Rogers, Danielle Medina, Emmanuel Resendes, Rosa Branco Pimentel and Dawn Teixeira Badger also dedicated their run to Team Southcoast’s fundraising efforts. Behind the scenes, over 40 Southcoast Health volunteers additionally played a crucial role in making the day a success by helping facilitate race number pickup stations, hand out water, cleaning, and handing medals to runners at the finish line. Members of our emergency department team were also onsite to assist any runners needing medical attention. We are grateful to all who participated, donated to and supported Southcoast Health in this year’s race. For those who wish to support this cause, there’s still time! Donations are open until March 31, 2025, and can be made at https://lnkd.in/eVCZsf_g. To learn more please visit: https://lnkd.in/ej9WcUZE

This week marks the five-year anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic – a time when our world changed in ways we never imagined and tested our strength, resilience and compassion. As a community, we stood strong. We became more resilient and resourceful. We discovered that friends and family mattered more than ever, and we grew closer despite the distance. As a lifeline for our community, Southcoast Health was proud to be a part of that family, and our commitment to ensuring the health and wellbeing of our region never wavered. Today, as we look back, we reflect on the profound impact the pandemic had on our lives. We remember those we lost, honor those who fought through unimaginable hardships, and recognize the incredible sacrifices made by so many. To the Southcoast Health staff, nurses and doctors who cared for our community – thank you. Your dedication saved lives and gave hope by getting us through the pandemic as safely as possible. Together, we have all moved forward – and today we are stronger than ever.
