The combination of our devoted teams who live in and serve our region 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 a part of something profound that will serve the interests of local residents for generations to come.

For Lawrence General and Holy Family, as nonprofit, community hospitals, 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.

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.
