Welcome to Roger Williams Medical Center
Roger Williams Medical Center has long been affiliated with the Boston University School of Medicine, preparing hundreds of physicians for careers in primary care as well as specialties such as oncology.
Yet unlike some large urban teaching hospitals, Roger Williams has preserved the quiet, compassionate environment of its origins as a community hospital. It’s like the best of two worlds…with access to many specialties as well as advances in medical research combined with caring staff and quiet hospital floor featuring private rooms.
An Outstanding Record of Quality and Patient Safety
Over the past several years, Roger Williams has received dozens of national awards and accreditations from the nation’s most exacting monitors of hospital care, including the Joint Commission and the American College of Surgery. Our commitment to achieving the best clinical outcomes possible is matched with our commitment to providing an exceptional patient experience.
