The Clinic also serves as a training site for aspiring healthcare professionals. Services and training are provided at our Clinic in Providence at its state-of-the-art, 8,000 square foot facility. The Clinic raises 100% of its $1.5 million annual budget, and with that leverages over $7.5 million in additional health resources to provide medical, dental, behavioral health care and wellness programs to improve the health of vulnerable RI adults. Through the Clinic’s comprehensive range of free health services, patients' health is stabilized and improved, and they are empowered through increased health literacy, follow-up visits, and referrals to self-manage chronic conditions and better maintain their own wellness.
