Urgent care centers are intended to treat immediate health needs that don’t rise to emergency level care. Patients can walk in or reserve an appointment.
Like Brown Health’s other urgent care centers, opening hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Sunday and some holidays. The center will be closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day.
Brown Health also has urgent care centers in Providence, Warwick, Middletown and Johnston.
Amid planned and potential service cuts elsewhere in the Brown Health network, the new East Bay urgent care center is part of the system’s strategy to expand health care accessibility, Wharton said.
