About the Clinic

The RISD Acute Care Clinic, located in the Network of Community Ministries building, is for all full-time RISD employees and their dependents. There is a $10 co-pay to visit the clinic. No medical insurance is required.  

Patients do not have to schedule specific appointment times to visit the clinic, but call-ahead scheduling is available and highly recommended. Walk-in patients will be informed of a time to be seen by the provider based upon the number of patients being taken that day. They will then have the option to wait at the clinic to be seen by the provider or return to the clinic at the time designated by the clinic personnel.

Occasionally, due to medical personnel availability, there will be days in which not all employees desiring to be seen will be able to visit the medical provider that same day.
