2025 Friends of the Free Clinic Awardees
For years, Bank of America has been a vital source of direct financial support for the Free Clinic and a true partner in our mission—most recently through a strong and meaningful collaboration with The Patriots Foundation.
Bank of America has consistently partnered with and supported the Free Clinic in our efforts to provide free, high-quality primary care to uninsured Rhode Islanders. This partnership includes support through the Community Captains grant, presented by Bank of America in collaboration with the Patriots Foundation; the Bank of America Economic Mobility Grant awarded to Rhode Island Free Clinic; and additional contributions from the Bank of America Charitable Foundation. These are just a few of the many impactful ways Bank of America has helped advance our work.
We are so grateful to continue this mutually beneficial partnership with Bank of America.
Dr. Sattar Memon is one of our extraordinary volunteer practitioners at the Free Clinic. Since 2018, Dr. Memon has committed to volunteering at the Clinic seeing patients and mentoring medical students.
Dr. Memon will receive the Steven Brin Physician of the Year award which recognizes a doctor or dentist who donates their time regularly for at least 3 years; consistently delivers highly skilled, culturally competent, compassionate, patient-centered care; is committed to empowering whole patient wellness at the level of the mind, body, and spirit; is appreciated and admired by the extended medical community, Clinic patients, staff, students, interns and volunteers; and, who serve as a mentor and/or role model for others.
