Support Our Programs

Our mission at Rhode Island Hospital, The Miriam Hospital and Newport Hospital is to provide the highest quality of care, and it is supported by the foundation of donor generosity.

Taking in the tremendous changes that have occurred in the past couple of years at all three hospitals, one is awestruck by all that has been accomplished with the help of physicians, employees, corporate sponsors, private donors and the community.

Our donors have contributed to enhancing our hospitals by providing funding for critical research, structural projects, state-of-the-art equipment and many other programs and services. As the needs of our patients grow, we look to our donors to help support those needs.

In memory of those who came before us and for the sake of those yet to come, please make a gift.
