Help Strengthen Our Tradition Of Caring For The Island Community

The Block Island Health Center has embarked on an exciting building project to ensure our facility can serve Block Island’s healthcare needs today and well into the future.

Our $14 million Capital Campaign will fund a renovation and expansion of the Health Center and grow the endowment. The current building was built in 1989, with minor adaptations since. The upgrades and expansion are essential to providing the primary and urgent care we all need here on Block Island.

Highlights of the Renovation/Expansion Plans

• 2 acute care rooms, 4 primary care rooms, and a central care team area
• Critically needed housing: 4 single rooms with shared kitchen and living space for visiting students and medical residents, as as a separate apartment for visiting specialists and relief providers
• New and redesigned spaces for telehealth, behavioral health, dentistry, x-ray, massage, chiropractic, acupuncture, and lab
• New physical therapy treatment space
• Newly designed office space for providers and administration

•  New elevator accessing all 3 floors of the building
