Portsmouth Regional Hospital

Our Role

In 1983 Hospital Corporation of America purchased Portsmouth Hospital. The details of that sale are included in a document referred to as the asset purchase agreement. In addition to the specific sales transaction, the agreement outlines the authority of the Foundation going forward which includes the monitoring of the following:

  • Continued access to clinical services offered at the time of the sale
  • Availability of free and subsidized care
  • Hospital charges that are competitive within the Seacoast market
  • Maintenance of the Hospital in first class repair and condition

Of utmost priority is the Foundation’s responsibility to appoint eight of the nine voting members of the Portsmouth Regional Hospital Board of Trustees. In addition, the CEO of the Foundation serves ex-officio on the hospital Board. These individuals represent the medical and Seacoast community and meet regularly with medical staff and Hospital leadership. As Trustees, they attend to the above as well as other responsibilities typical to a subsidiary hospital Board under Hospital Corporation of America.

Foundation and Hospital Trustees meet in joint session at least twice each year to discuss the above and learn about trends and changes in the local, regional and national health care industry.

“The rich history of the community-based Portsmouth Hospital lives on through the mission of the Foundation for Seacoast Health”

“The Foundation for Seacoast Health was born out of HCA’s acquisition of the community-based hospital. When the acquisition occurred, the community wanted to make sure services remained at the same level. Hence, the Foundation was granted the authority to appoint the majority of the Board members.”
