Fatima Hospital was established on 1950 by the Catholic Diocese of Providence. Our Lady of Fatima Hospital receives an annual volume of 30,000 and has a 23-bed emergency department (ED). In recent years Fatima has earned dozens of national accreditations and recognitions for quality performance. These have been given by tough, independent, and objective arbiters of hospital care, such as the Joint Commission, the American College of Surgery and Blue Cross Blue Shield.
