Welcome to CharterCARE Health of Rhode Island
It’s amazing what new ownership has meant for Roger Williams Medical Center and Our Lady of Fatima Hospital. CharterCARE Health of Rhode Island is entering an exciting new era, with significant investments in advanced technology, expanded clinical programs and enhanced patient services. These advancements are helping our physicians and care teams diagnose conditions earlier, deliver more precise treatments and provide more specialized care close to home.
Recent investments include innovative technologies supporting the diagnosis and treatment of breast and lung cancer, a new robot-assisted joint replacement program for hip, knee and shoulder procedures, and advanced ultrasound diagnostic capabilities in the Fatima Hospital Emergency Department. Roger Williams has also expanded access to infusion care, while CharterCARE continues to strengthen its surgical programs through new clinical leadership and the growth of specialized thoracic and general surgery services.
These improvements build upon the exceptional care already provided across the CharterCARE system. Roger Williams has earned national recognition for stroke care, and both hospitals remain committed to meeting rigorous standards for quality, safety and clinical excellence. Together, these new technologies, programs and leaders represent a renewed investment in the health of our patients and communities.
New technology. New programs. Expanded access to exceptional care. It is all part of the CharterCARE promise: We Care For You.
