Brown University Health announced the opening of a Brown University Health Urgent Care and Walk-In Clinic in Barrington. John Fernandez, President and CEO, Brown University Health, welcomed guests at a ribbon cutting held yesterday at the facility, which is conveniently located for residents of Barrington, Bristol, Warren, East Providence, Swansea and Seekonk.
Centrally located in Barrington at 236 County Road, the new clinic serves patients of all ages, from 18 months old and up. The facility offers plenty of free, convenient parking. Like all Brown Urgent Care locations, it is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday, Sunday, and some holidays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. All locations are closed New Year’s Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
“We’re proud to expand Brown Health Urgent Care to Barrington,” said Olivier Gherardi, DO, medical director, Brown University Health Urgent Care. “The timing of our new location is excellent given the recent spike in cold and flu cases. Now residents of Barrington and nearby communities with minor illnesses or injuries have the advantage of walk-in care with a Brown Health provider, all year long.”
Dr. Gherardi added, “Urgent care delivers quick treatment for unexpected health issues that aren’t life-threatening.”
In addition to colds and flu, Brown Health Urgent Care offers treatment for a variety of medical needs from animal bites to UTIs. Patients can also obtain x-rays, flu and tetanus shots, COVID testing, and sports physicals. An appointment is not required at any of Brown Health Urgent Care’s locations; you can just walk in.
