PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Rhode Island's largest hospital group plans to close an outpatient facility on the East Side of Providence early next year as the not-for-profit corporation works to cut costs, 12 News has learned. Lifespan officials confirmed they will shut down the Rhode Island Hospital Surgery Center at Wayland Square on Jan. 31. An undisclosed number of employees will lose their jobs, but can apply for other positions at the hospital. The disclosure comes a day after Target 12 revealed that Lifespan posted an operating loss of $77 million in its 2021-22 fiscal year, which ended Sept.
