Statement from the McKee Administration Concerning the Latest Developments with Fatima Hospital and Roger Williams Medical Center

Published on Tuesday, November 11, 2025

PROVIDENCE, RI - Today, the McKee Administration released the following statement:

"The McKee Administration’s focus is on ensuring that both hospitals remain open—providing vital care to Rhode Islanders and supporting the dedicated employees who make that care possible. We want to see a buyer, whether Centurion, Prime, or another party, complete a deal that keeps the hospitals operating. 

"That’s why we’ll continue to work in good faith with Centurion, who must secure funding in accordance with the bankruptcy court’s decision. We are also developing a Plan B to ensure the hospitals remain open if that deal does not move forward. This is the responsible step for our administration to take to prevent another situation like Memorial Hospital. 

"The Governor spoke with UNAP leadership last night to reaffirm this commitment."
