History
In 1994 "the three state hospitals operated by RI Department of Mental Health Retardation and Hospitals integrated into one hospital system; the Eleanor Slater Unified Hospital System (ESH). The 495 bed public hospital consists of two campus locations: The Eleanor Slater Hospital at the John O. Pastore Center in Cranston, RI and the Eleanor Slater Hospital/Zambarano Unit in Burrillville, RI." The Zambarano Unit was founded in 1905 as a tuberculosis sanatorium. Eleanor Slater Hospital is named after a prominent Rhode Island Democratic Party supporter, "who had particular interests in housing, mental health, and the elderly. [Slater] died on March 11, [2006] at age 97."
