Newport Hospital was recently named to Newsweek's 2026 U.S. Best Hospitals list! Hospitals were evaluated on four criteria: recommendations from medical experts; hospital quality metrics; existing patient experience data; and Statista’s Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Implementation Survey, a standardized, validated questionnaire completed by patients to measure their perception of their functional well-being and quality of life.

Traumatic brain injuries change lives in an instant, but recovery is possible with the right care, compassion, and resources. March is Traumatic Brain Injury Awareness Month—a time to recognize the strength of survivors, the dedication of care teams, and the ongoing need for support and resources.

A TBI can affect thinking, movement, emotions, sleep and relationships. Recovery is often a marathon, not a sprint.

Essential Tremor is a common condition that affects about one in 20 people over age 60, and while it involves a tremor it is not the same as Parkinson's disease.
