National Minority Donor Awareness Day
At New Bedford Community Health, we provide a welcoming environment and culturally competent patient care. A rich diversity of patients is at the heart of what we do. Our focus on community-based, patient-centered care is what sets us apart and challenges us to focus on the needs of individuals with a deep understanding of their culture, language, and preferences.

Our mission is to serve, educate, and inspire our patients to take control of their health, all while improving the health of the people in our communities every day. Confronting racism and biased behaviors is crucial to fulfilling this mission.
We focus on embracing and encouraging a diverse and welcoming environment for all. We work towards a culture of health that accepts, appreciates, and celebrates the rich diversity of patients, our staff, and the communities we serve.
