Providence in everyday life
Could Providence work for you?
What may work well
- Providence’s published healthcare, hospital, primary care, emergency, and specialist rows are Excellent.
- The local directory lists 29 HRSA primary care sites, 46 pharmacies, 500 selected Medicare specialists, and 21 Medicare emergency hospitals within 30 miles.
- The local rows also identify nursing, home health, hospice, dialysis, ambulatory surgery, psychiatric, and federally qualified health center routes for direct verification.
What to think about
- A 0.5 mile nearest HRSA distance and 0.9 mile nearest listed emergency distance do not establish travel time, appointment access, coverage, or outcomes.
- Brown University Health’s institutional descriptions do not establish insurance acceptance, language fit, clinician availability, capacity for a particular need, or follow up.
- The Optional car row, 39.3 percent disability row, winter surfaces, flood risk, and 1.2 percent uninsured row make the home to care route important.

Review Rhode Island Hospital and Brown University Health’s own information, then ask about coverage, transport, emergency departments, referrals, records, and follow up.
Map everyday and advanced care
Place pharmacies, specialists, 21 listed Medicare emergency hospitals, 60 nursing homes, home health, hospice, dialysis, ambulatory surgery, psychiatric care, and family help on the home route.
Plan for support at home
Discuss disability, mobility, home visits, medication storage, winter interruptions, flood conditions, insurance, language, and the person who would help after a hospital visit.
