Brockton, MA The Rockland Trust Charitable Foundation has provided $150,000 to Brockton Hospital to support renovations that will strengthen the local delivery of safe and exceptional health care. This grant will increase access to quality patient care through updates and modernization to the Emergency Room (ER) which include a behavioral health section.

Other improvements include modernizing the Brockton Hospital lobby, the creation of an outpatient surgery center and new equipment for the cardiac catheterization lab.
