Rhode Island Free Clinic: Our Patients

Pre-Employment Clinic
Pre-employment physical exams are becoming an increasingly important part of the hiring process for companies, large and small. But for many job seekers, the dilemma is: You can’t get the job without the physical and without the job, you can’t afford the physical. Hence, the need for our walk-in pre-employment clinic.

From 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm on the first Tuesday of each month, through a partnership with the University of Rhode Island (URI) and a 2005 grant from the Fred M. Roddy Foundation, we provide free exams and immunizations for patients involved in the pre-employment screening process. Our volunteer nurse practitioners and URI nurse practitioner students check blood pressure, weight, height, medical history, and immunization records.

Depending on your general health and your prospective employer’s requirements, we may also refer you to other low- or no-cost facilities for additional lab work or tests. All we ask is that you arrive by noon (space is limited), bring any documentation from your prospective employer with you, and donate what you can for your visit.
