CHNA Report

CharterCARE Health Partners -- the parent company of Our Lady of Fatima Hospital and Roger Williams Medical Center -- regularly undergoes a comprehensive study of unmet health needs in the communities we serve. This study  -- known as a community health needs assessment (CHNA) -- is updated every three years to ensure our strategic plans and programs are responding to changing needs and demographics in our community.

The 2025 CHNA approach was aimed at gathering data and community input to inform strategies and policies to support a health and thriving Rhode Island. Once again, we pursued a statewide collaborative approach with the Hospital Association of Rhode Island (HARI). The process and methods included secondary data collection and analysis, key stakeholder survey, community forums and listening sessions. While hospitals have community-specific implementation plans to address these and other areas, they will continue to meet collectively to address these issues collaboratively and analyze the impact of their activities. The CHNA Steering Committee and the Rhode Island Department of Health were also involved in the process to ensure statewide efforts for community health improvements were properly aligned.

In response to those extensive findings, CharterCARE has proposed plans to meet these needs. Click the link below to review our study and its recommendations.
