Southern New England Rehabilitation Center announces Relocation to Fatima Hospital

(North Providence, Rhode Island) The Southern New England Rehabilitation Center (SNERC), Rhode Island's most comprehensive provider of inpatient rehabilitation care, has relocated to Our Lady of Fatima Hospital from St. Joseph Hospital for Specialty Care where it was established 20 years ago.

The relocation is part of a master consolidation plan embraced by corporate parent St. Joseph Health Services of Rhode Island, wherein the St. Joseph campus is being decommissioned. Under the plan, all remaining impatient services, including the rehabilitation and behavioral health services, have been moved to newly renovated space at Fatima Hospital

SNERC is now located on a newly renovated 18-bed unit designed especially to optimize the delivery of rehabilitation care and therapies and features the best in patient amenities. The relocation project received state regulatory approval last year and construction costs were funded in part by federal grant dollars.

"This move to Fatima Hospital will strengthen our ability to deliver leading edge rehabilitation care", stated Fatima Hospital CEO John Fogarty. "Our patients will enjoy direct access to the services of an acute care hospital, including diagnostic testing, and the benefits of a wide range of physician specialists when needed. Visitors will now have access to a secure location with ample parking," he continued.

SNERC provides patients recovering from a stroke, hip fracture or other neurologic or orthopedic condition with a complete range of rehabilitation services, including neuropsychology, physical therapy, occupational therapy speech therapy, recreation therapy and outpatient services



SNERC is a joint venture with Rhode Island Hospital, a Lifespan partner, and is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).

As a joint venture of Rhode Island Hospital and St. Joseph Health Services, our commitment to rehabilitation excellence will not change with this move. You can continue to expect:

  • 20 years of acknowledged market leadership.
  • An experienced team of nurses and therapists who work with skilled physician specialists.
  • Proven quality in patient outcomes.
  • An unparalleled level of patient satisfaction.
  • National accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities.
