Local care context / HRSA snapshot
If coverage is pending, use the federal health-center finder.
HRSA reported 62 funded health-center service-delivery sites in Rhode Island and 10 designated primary-care Health Professional Shortage Areas in its July 3, 2026 data snapshot.
These are state-level counts, not a count of nearby open appointments, individual clinics, or people. HPSA designations can overlap and do not predict wait time. Confirm the current location, services, sliding-fee policy, and availability directly.
