Primary care in Rhode Island is facing a critical moment, and Brown Health Medical Group Primary Care is no exception. 

Over the past three years, we have successfully transitioned more than 40,000 patients to new primary care providers due to physician retirements and relocations, surpassing our ability to recruit replacements and expand capacity further. The challenges in recruiting and retaining primary care providers will impact 6,000 more of our patients in the coming months.

As a result, we are pausing the addition of new patients to our waitlist as we focus on supporting our impacted patients and the over 12,000 prospective patients already on our waitlist.

We thank you for your understanding during this challenging time in primary care. 

Please check this webpage regularly for availability updates. We are working tirelessly to expand our capacity to care for more patients and onboard additional clinicians.
