Roger Williams Medical Center

What Roger Williams Medical Center does

Roger Williams Medical Center is a 220-bed acute care hospital located at 825 Chalkstone Avenue in Providence, Rhode Island, founded in 1900 and serving the Providence metropolitan area for over a century. The hospital operates as part of CharterCARE Health of Rhode Island, a regional nonprofit health system formed in March 2026 when The Centurion Foundation acquired RWMC and Our Lady of Fatima Hospital from bankrupt Prospect Medical Holdings. The combined network operates 500 beds, employs 2,400 health professionals, and runs a $380 million combined annual operating budget across Providence and North Providence.

RWMC delivers comprehensive acute care including 24/7 emergency services, inpatient and outpatient surgical care, diagnostic imaging, laboratory services, rehabilitation, and home care. Centers of Excellence include the Roger Williams Cancer Center (Commission on Cancer accredited with 7 commendations, Rhode Island's only CARVYKTI CAR T-cell therapy site, bone marrow transplant facility), elder care, gastroenterology (where Rhode Island's first ESD procedures were performed in 2025), behavioral health, sleep medicine (American Academy of Sleep Medicine accredited), and orthopedics (Blue Cross Blue Shield Blue Distinction). The hospital is a major Boston University School of Medicine teaching affiliate with residencies and fellowships across multiple specialties.

Revenue is generated primarily through insurance billing (Medicare, Medicaid, commercial) for inpatient and outpatient services, with a safety-net mission supported by sliding fee scales at affiliated St. Joseph Health Center community health centers. Patient acquisition occurs through direct emergency department visits, physician referrals via the CharterCARE Provider Group of Rhode Island (500+ affiliated physicians), and community outreach. The system is structured around hospital-based care, outpatient clinics (including Blackstone Valley Surgicare ambulatory surgery), home health, and community health center channels across Rhode Island.
