Annual Report

Wood River Health has released our 2023 Annual Report, which is filled with valuable information about our Federally Qualified Health Center's recent successes and updates about our ongoing initiatives. 

In 2023, Wood River Health reported our highest number of encounters ever: 9,186 unique patients, 23,543 primary care visits, 6,335 dental visits, and 5,074 behavioral health visits. We continue to identify ways to expand our capacity, programs and staffing to help the members of our community achieve and maintain healthy lives.

Wood River Health was recognized by the Health Resources and Services Administration as a Gold Health Center Quality Leader. This credential demonstrates that Wood River Health is a model for excellence in health care delivery and a leader in the promotion of community well-being. Only 149 health centers in the country received this recognition in 2023. This was achieved because our dedicated staff work as a team to provide the highest quality of care to our patients. 

In 2023, we opened our new building at our Hope Valley site, which enabled us to expand our clinical space by 57% and incorporate Express Care and physical therapy services. We were invited to serve as the backbone agency to Healthy Bodies Healthy Minds, the Health Equity Zone that is charged with removing obstacles to accessing health care for residents of Washington County. We have partnered with Gateway Healthcare to serve as a Designated Collaborating Organization for Washington County’s Certified Community Behavioral Health Center. We are also partnering with Block Island Health Services to offer dental services to island residents. We are expanding our Westerly site to meet the increased demand for health care services.

Just as we are growing to better serve our community, we are expanding the ways we keep our donors, grantors, sponsors and community partners informed about our initiatives. We hope you enjoy the Annual Report – and we thank you for supporting our mission to provide our patients with high-quality and affordable health care services through a compassionate, team-based approach.
