A message from our CEO, Sheri Godfrin. Today is Veterans Day, a dedicated time to honor and appreciate all those who have bravely served to protect our nation’s freedom. In recognition of this special day, and in partnership with HONOR, Lifepoint’s employee resource group (ERG) for veteran employees and allies, we are pleased to outline a few values that veterans live by which help to advance Lifepoint’s mission and vision every day:

Integrity – This value is taught in military basic training and is foundational to Lifepoint’s core value, Do the Right Thing. Acting with integrity and honesty in everything we do shows a strong commitment to our patients, partners and each other. It also promotes safe, high-quality care for the community we serve.

Teamwork – This value is integral to successful military missions and is a key part of Lifepoint’s core value, Make a Difference Together. Thinking “we” before “me” helps to encourage effective collaboration, and building strong relationships often leads to identifying and developing more innovative solutions.

Service – This value provides military service members with a sense of duty and aligns with Lifepoint’s core value, Champion Patient Care. Demonstrating an unwavering passion for delivering high-quality care, while looking for opportunities to improve, is an important way that we ensure patients have positive experiences.

Perseverance – This value is learned throughout military service and corresponds with Lifepoint’s core values, Embrace Individuality and Act with Kindness. Drawing upon the diverse skills of others, approaching each day with optimism and lifting up our team members is how we continue to grow.

Thank you to all our veterans for the sacrifices you have made to protect our country. You are a critical part of our team, and we are grateful for your continued commitment to making communities healthier.

Early action is critical when a patient suffers a stroke. Stroke rehabilitation should begin as soon as possible after a stroke, once a patient’s medical condition is stable. Visit our rehabhospitalri.com/ to learn more about how our hospital supports patients with their stroke recovery.

October 17, 2025, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My 92-year-old father suffered a hemorrhagic stroke. After he was stabilized in the hospital, he was then transferred to Rehabilitation Hospital of Rhode Island. There he underwent intensive physical, occupational, and speech therapy. My siblings live locally and I live out of state. When I visited my Dad, I was so impressed with the care he was receiving. The nurses and therapists are top notch and were very attentive to all my Dad's needs. The Case Manager Michaelle Blanchette went above and beyond. She kept my siblings informed directly and then took the time to also call me with updates on my father's status during his two week admission. I wish I could give a "bonus" star on my review of this facility because they certainly deserve it. 💖 I have absolutely no hesitation on recommending Rehabilitation Hospital of Rhode Island for you or a loved one!
