Rhode island free clinic
The Rhode Island Free Clinic's 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. Care is provided through a dynamic statewide network of volunteer medical providers working with academic, medical, and community partners, leveraging robust health care resources with a vitality that is unmatched in Rhode Island.
Rhode Island Free Clinic is nationally recognized for its volunteer/community partner model. In 2015 the Clinic mobilized an active statewide corps of over 700 volunteers throughout Rhode Island – medical and support professionals along with academic, health, and community partners – to provide nearly 7,000 patient visits and a medical home to uninsured, low-income Rhode Island adults who would otherwise have none. |
