Drs. A. Robert Buonanno, N. Joseph Espat, William Beliveau, and John Stoukides
Dr. A. Robert Buonanno is chair of the Department of Surgery, Our Lady of Fatima Hospital. Dr. N. Joseph Espat is chair of the Department of Surgery, Roger Williams Medical Center. Dr. William Beliveau is chair of the Department of Medicine, Our Lady of Fatima Hospital. Dr. John Stoukides is chair of the Department of Medicine, Roger Williams Medical Center.
We are the clinical leaders of the more than 600 physicians who are affiliated with CharterCARE Health Partners and who care for thousands of patients each year at Roger Williams Medical Center and Our Lady of Fatima Hospital. Combined, we have nearly 150 years of hospital-based clinical experience, making us credible observers of Rhode Island health care.
Today, we write in support of the pending sale of CharterCARE to The Centurion Foundation as the Rhode Island Health Services Council considers the transaction. After months of sharing thousands of pages of documents and answering hundreds of questions, Centurion’s application to purchase CharterCARE under terms of Rhode Island’s Hospital Conversion Act has been deemed complete and regulatory review has begun.
