KINGSTON, R.I. – Rhode Island’s home will be known as the South County Health Court at the Thomas M. Ryan Center, thanks to an extended corporate partnership between South County Health and LEARFIELD’s Rhody Sports Properties, as announced October 7.
South County Health’s title of “Official Hospital/Healthcare Provider of URI Athletics” assumes an additional designation as “Court Naming Partner,” effective immediately. The new deal is a four-year partnership.
“We are honored to be the official healthcare provider of URI Athletics,” said Aaron Robinson, CEO of South County Health. “As corporate partners, we bring the best in innovation, technology, and quality to our patients and to our community. There has never been a greater time to showcase the best in sportsmanship and community as we welcome a bright future.”
Complementing the court naming rights, South County Health will receive brand exposure during the football and basketball seasons through an assortment of assets including digital, social, radio broadcasts, and in-arena and TV-visible logo display. South County Health also will sponsor a monthly health tip video for fans, socialized via URI Athletics’ official channels.
“We are grateful to work with an incredible group of corporate partners, and we’re elated that South County Health will elevate their involvement with us and assume court naming rights at the Ryan Center,” said URI Director of Athletics Thorr Bjorn.
