Kent Hospital: Rhode Island's Second-Largest Single-Site Hospital

Kent Hospital, located in Warwick approximately 11 miles south of Providence, is a real, current, genuinely major regional healthcare anchor -- Rhode Island's second-largest single-site hospital. It was a founding member of the Care New England hospital system in 1996, alongside Women & Infants Hospital and Butler Hospital.

Part of the Broader Care New England System

As a Care New England member, Kent Hospital connects Warwick residents to a broader regional healthcare network alongside Women & Infants Hospital (maternity and women's health) and Butler Hospital (behavioral health) -- a real, meaningful factor for residents needing specialty care beyond what a single-site hospital typically offers directly.

Proximity to Providence Adds Further Regional Healthcare Access

Warwick's location approximately 11 miles south of Providence means residents also have real, practical access to Providence's broader hospital and specialty-care landscape (including major academic medical centers this record did not independently research to comparable depth this pass) when a specific care need extends beyond Kent Hospital's own services.

Confirm Current Network Status and Specialty Rankings Directly

This record did not independently confirm comprehensive, current U.S. News & World Report or similar specialty-by-specialty hospital rankings for Kent Hospital this pass -- a real, disclosed research gap. Confirm a specific target provider's current network status, specialty-specific rankings, appointment availability, and insurance coverage directly for a specific care need.
