A power outage at Rhode Island Hospital on Saturday morning forced the hospital to go on diversion, according to Brown University Health officials. The outage, caused by a dip in power from the electrical feed, affected both Rhode Island Hospital and Hasbro Children’s Hospital. Backup generators were activated to ensure essential operations could continue during the outage. The hospital remained on diversion until around 11 a.m. as they worked to transition back to regular power. It is estimated that the outage and resulting diversion could have impacted patient care and operations at the hospital. The incident highlights the importance of backup power systems in medical facilities to ensure continuity of care during emergencies. The hospital has not provided further details on the cause of the power dip or any potential impacts on patient care.
