Joint Statement on Behalf of Care New England, Partners HealthCare, Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Lifespan

Care New England and Partners HealthCare have approached Lifespan and will begin formal discussions to explore how all three health care providers might work together to strengthen patient care delivery in Rhode Island. By combining the talent, experience and resources of our liked-minded, provider-based organizations, we envision creating a national model that fully leverages the integration and coordination of care. In doing so, we are better equipped to meet market challenges and mandates to improve outcomes while reducing health care costs.
