Founded in 1999, our mission is to provide free, comprehensive medical care and preventive health services to adults who have no health insurance and cannot afford those services, and, to serve as an educational training site for health care professionals.

Community partnerships, volunteerism, and collaboration are at the heart of the Clinic model, providing robust resources and a vitality that is unmatched in Rhode Island. 

Patients receive care from an active corps of over 700 medical providers and volunteers working with medical, academic, and community partners throughout Rhode Island. The Clinic is the only medical home for Rhode Island’s uninsured working poor and low-income that provides an on-site program integrating free primary care, chronic disease management, behavioral health, and pharmacy.

Services and training are provided at the Clinic in Providence at its state-of the-art facility.  The Clinic also provides care through its statewide Physicians Network, where patients are seen in offices of volunteer doctors through out Rhode Island.

In 2011 the Clinic provided nearly 8,000 patient visits with an annual budget of only $1.2 million, providing cost-effective health care to Rhode Island's most vulnerable residents.
