NAPA replaced the hospital’s former anesthesia group, Anesthesia Associates of Massachusetts, in May 2018. AAM served the hospital for 20 years. That group has since disbanded.

NAPA regional executives said the decision surprised them, but that they respected the health system’s decision.

South Coast plans to develop an internal anesthesia program starting this spring.
