Emma Pendleton Bradley Hospital

The Emma Pendleton Bradley Hospital, founded in 1931, was the nation’s first psychiatric hospital devoted to children and adolescents. More recently, Bradley Hospital has become a designated teaching hospital for The Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University. Since its creation, Bradley has become one of the country’s foremost child psychiatry centers and has developed a national reputation for excellence in patient care, research, and education.

Bradley provides clinical care for preschool age children through adolescents with significant emotional, developmental, and behavioral problems. Hospital services include = inpatient care, partial hospitalization/day programs, outpatient programs and treatment, residential programs, and home- and school-based services.

Annually, Bradley Hospital’s child and adolescent psychiatry programs see approximately 1,200 inpatient admissions and over 12,000 outpatient visits.

More than 60% of admissions annually are publicly supported. As a result, clinicians and trainees work closely with the state’s Department for Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) and Rhode Island’s eight mental health centers around the care and aftercare of children and adolescents with mental disorders.
