Newport Hospital

Founded in 1873 as a 12-bed cottage hospital, Newport Hospital is a state-of-the-art, award-winning health care facility that offers a wide array of services to the community. In addition to an emergency department that treats patients from Newport and surrounding towns, the hospital provides diagnostic and surgical services and is home to the renowned Vanderbilt Rehabilitation Center and the award-winning Noreen Stonor Drexel Birthing Center.

Newport Hospital has continuously maintained Magnet status since 2004. The Magnet designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) is considered the gold standard for nursing excellence.

Of more than 5,000 hospitals in the United States, only about 4 percent meet Magnet’s rigorous standards for best practices in nursing.

When you have a medical emergency, you want immediate professional care. Newport Hospital’s newly renovated John A. and Hope H. van Beuren Emergency Department is open and staffed 24 hours a day, every day of the year, so we're here whenever you need us.

For more than 40 years, Vanderbilt Rehabilitation Center at Newport Hospital has offered exceptional services to patients who require intensive inpatient rehabilitation care. Vanderbilt was renovated and expanded in 2021 and is now the exclusive inpatient rehabilitation location for all of Lifespan.
