BROCKTON - Some patients are being transferred to other hospitals due to a power outage Saturday afternoon at Good Samaritan Hospital in Brockton.

The hospital's parent company said their team is working "diligently" to find the cause. "As patient safety is always our number one priority, our patients are receiving uninterrupted care. Where needed our patients are being transferred to our sister hospitals for care," a spokesperson said, in part.

The Emergency Room remains open for walk-ins, but all ambulances are being diverted to other hospitals. 

Signature Brockton Hospital remains closed from a fire earlier this year.

The hospital advised that if you need urgent non-life-threatening assistance that you go to a nearby urgent care or call your medical provider.
