Rhode Island Free Clinic Administrative and Clinical Staff

The Rhode Island Free Clinic is a volunteer medical program that operates alongside a small full-time staff. Staff at the Clinic serve to coordinate statewide volunteer corps and medical practitioners; provide patient and donor services; and oversee community partnerships and grants. By mobilizing a wide array of talented volunteers with a commitment to health equity, patient privacy, compassion and professionalism, we can ensure the quality and consistency of daily Clinic operations.
