South County Hospital Scores 'A' in Latest Hospital Safety Grades

South County Hospital earned an "A" rating in The Leapfrog Group's spring 2024 Hospital Safety Grades, underscoring its dedication to patient safety.
Rhode Island was ranked fourth among the top ten states with the highest number of "A"-rated hospitals.
The Leapfrog Group, a nonprofit watchdog, grades hospitals biannually based on their ability to prevent medical errors, accidents, and infections.

First of Two Giant Trolls Revealed in Ninigret Park, Promoting Recycling and Tourism

The South County Tourism Council has unveiled Erik Rock, a giant troll sculpture by Danish recycle artist Thomas Dambo, at Ninigret Park in Charlestown.
Erik Rock, located by Little Nini Pond, provides clues to the location of the second troll, Greta Granite, who is currently under construction. Dambo’s work aims to promote environmental stewardship through recycling and aligns with South County’s natural beauty.
The council plans to add more trolls across Rhode Island, creating a “Troll Trail” that will attract visitors statewide.
