Hawthorn Medical Associates
Hawthorn Medical Associates is the largest multi-specialty group practice in the greater New Bedford area. Founded in 1970, Hawthorn Medical Associates serves over 138,000 patients annually and has more than 120 of the area's finest primary and specialty care physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners.
Hawthorn's primary care and specialty physicians are supported by a network of diagnostic and treatment services that are provided by skilled staff. When patients need an MRI, a colonoscopy, help managing a medical condition or other specialty services, Hawthorn Medical can conveniently meet that need locally rather than having our patients travel to a hospital or outside of the area.
Hawthorn Medical has joined forces with Steward Health Care System to enhance patient care on the South Coast. Steward Health Care is the largest fully integrated community care organization and community hospital network in New England. Our new relationship with Steward allows Hawthorn to expand services, gain access to a greater scope of health plans, and join a strong partner invested in the community.
Hawthorn Medical is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care. Status as an accredited organization means that Hawthorn Medical has met nationally recognized standards for the provision of high quality health care. The core standards are in the areas of Rights of Patients, Governance, Administration, Quality of Care, Quality Management and Improvement, Clinical Records, Infection Control, and Facilities.
