World-Class Care Close to Home
The Campaign for Riverside Smithfield Hospital
"These milestones reflect the meaningful impact Riverside Smithfield Hospital is making—not only as a critical asset during times of need, but as a long-term partner dedicated to improving the health and well-being of the communities we serve." - Dr. Justin Billings, RSH Chief Medical Officer
When Riverside Smithfield Hospital opened its doors in January, it represented more than just a building – it was a promise to bring world-class care close to home. Thanks to your generosity, that promise is becoming a reality every day as Riverside Smithfield continues to deliver exceptional experience, earning high patient satisfaction scores across inpatient, outpatient, ambulatory surgery and emergency services.
Here’s is an update on the numbers and the impact that you helped make possible:
- 769 Surgeries
- 949 Admissions
- 21,721 Imaging Studies
- 9,068 ED Visits
Your investment is also transforming emergency care. Local access means patients receive treatment sooner, loved ones can stay close during recovery and EMS crews return to their communities nearly 69 minutes faster on average.
Care Is Here—Because Community Made It Possible
Riverside Smithfield Hospital was designed with the future of health care in mind.
For years, Riverside Health served this area through outpatient and limited-service settings. While those efforts met critical needs, the absence of a full-service hospital created barriers to comprehensive, coordinated care. Today, that barrier is gone. This state-of-the-art facility expands access to essential services, integrates advanced technology and creates an environment centered on patient experience, safety and dignity.
Riverside Smithfield Hospital stands as a testament to what is possible when a community comes together with a shared vision for better health.
Why Philanthropy Matters Now
Opening the hospital was a milestone—but it is not the finish line.
Philanthropy plays a vital role in ensuring Riverside Smithfield Hospital continues to deliver exceptional care and evolves to meet the growing and changing needs of our community. Charitable investment allows us to go beyond what traditional funding can support—enhancing services, accelerating innovation and addressing health disparities.
Your support makes it possible for us to bring advanced, compassionate care closer to home.
