Brockton Hospital was established in 1897[4] as a not-for-profit community teaching hospital with 219 beds serving more than 20 communities in Southeastern Massachusetts. Since its creation, Brockton Hospital has been known for its school of nursing and has been teaching nurses for over 100 years. At the time of creation, Brockton Hospital's nursing school was similar to that of other nursing schools in that it was attached to the hospital. However, it is unique today in that it is the only hospital-based nursing school in Massachusetts. To this day, Brockton Hospital offers graduate medical education programs in a number of fields.
In December 2007, Brockton Hospital changed its multigenerational name from when it partnered with Signature Health. By partnering with Signature Health, Brockton Hospital became a regional institution, acquiring a system of primary care physicians and medical centers to create a larger, newer healthcare system.
