Southcoast Health announced today that cardiologist Bruce Brown, MD FACC, officially joined the not-for-profit community health system this month. Board certified in internal medicine and cardiovascular disease, he is now practicing at the Southcoast Health Rosebrook location in Wareham while continuing to provide inpatient consultative service at Tobey Hospital.
“The promise of Southcoast Health has always been to deliver exceptional personalized care,” Dr. Bruce Brown said. “I am honored to be a part of Southcoast, where the health system has committed to providing the advanced cardiovascular care people in our region deserve close to home.”
Practicing in southeastern Massachusetts for over 30 years, Dr. Brown is a fellow of the American College of Cardiology. His clinical interests include non-invasive cardiac testing, general outpatient and inpatient cardiology, cardiac rhythm management, congestive heart failure management, preventative cardiology and cardiac wellness.
Moving to the South Coast region in 1991 and starting the first cardiology practice in Wareham, Dr. Brown has maintained a strong connection to the community.
“My philosophy of care is that a physician does not just treat patients but that they become an integral part of the community providing the same level of service that people of the region could expect in a larger city,” he said.
Dr. Brown earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Biochemistry from New York University and his Doctor of Medicine degree with honors from the State University of New York Health Sciences Center at Brooklyn, Down Medical School, where he also completed his internship in Internal Medicine. He then went on to complete his Internal Medicine residency at the State University of New York, in Brooklyn, NY, and later served as Chief Medical Resident at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, NJ.
Following his residency, Dr. Brown completed his Cardiology fellowship at the Likoff Cardiovascular Institute Hahnemann University Medical Center in Philadelphia, PA. Here, he received the Excellence in Clinical Teaching Award.
“We are delighted to welcome Dr. Brown to Southcoast Health,” said Dr. Peter Cohn, Physician in Chief of the Cardiovascular Care Center at Southcoast Health. “Dr. Brown, while in private practice, has provided exceptional cardiac care to the Wareham community for a number of years. We are very excited that he has joined our team of advanced cardiologists. He will now have the resources at hand to deliver the most up-to-date cardiac care to both his established patients as well as those new to his practice at Southcoast”
