Reimagining Health Care in the Merrimack Valley
On August 29, 2024, Lawrence General Hospital signed an asset purchase agreement that will allow Holy Family Hospital, both the Methuen and Haverhill campuses, to join Lawrence General Hospital to build a true regional health care system in the Merrimack Valley.
We are excited about the opportunity that puts quality and safety at the forefront of everything we do and is guided by the principle of equitably caring for our community. We are grateful to the many stakeholders who have helped in this acquisition process, including the Commonwealth, our federal and state legislative delegations, and local officials.
This is an historic moment for health care and for all of us in the Merrimack Valley as patients, community members, employees, providers, and community partners are going to be part of something profound.
For Lawrence General, as a non-profit, independent community hospital, we are motivated by our mission to provide quality care and lead from the heart. That's what our patients deserve. That's what our providers and employees deserve. That's what our community partners deserve. That’s what we intend to deliver for the region.
Lawrence General Hospital is an organization motivated by a mission to focus on our patients, employees, and community, and we are confident that collectively our institutions will create a better health care system for the Merrimack Valley.
We are grateful that the employee culture of kindness, quality and caring at both Lawrence General and Holy Family Hospitals is in alignment. It is a people-first foundation for success.
Naturally, when organizations join there are many questions, and we are here to help. Whether you are a patient, employee or community member, we invite you to submit your questions, concerns and ideas to questions@lawrencegeneral.org.
