(45,319 posts)WHY A LOTTERY AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Because demand for our services is greater than our current capacity to service all who seek our help, we are limited in the number of patients we can accept each month. After consulting with other free healthcare provider organizations across the country, we decided to employ a lottery by ticket number as the fairest way to select new patients.
The RI Free Clinic selects new patients each month via a lottery process. The lottery is held at the Clinic located at 655 Broad Street in Providence on the first Thursday of each month, beginning at 4:00pm.
Watch our video on how to become a patient at the RI Free Clinic. The video explains the lottery process and the eligibility guidelines and will help prepare you before you come to the lottery. Click to view.
