The Providence Community Health Centers, Inc.

With a company size of 201-500 employees and revenue between $25M and $100M, PCHC provides comprehensive services including prenatal care, pediatrics, adolescent medicine, adult medicine, elder care, specialty clinics (optometry, podiatry, dental), school-based services, and community-focused patient education. PCHC has been consistently recognized by HRSA as one of the top performing community health centers in the nation and is regularly listed among the best places to work in Rhode Island. For nursing professionals, PCHC offers a team-based primary care model where each clinician leads a team including an RN and medical assistant. The organization emphasizes work-life balance, with full-time schedules comprising 4 clinic weekdays plus remote administrative time and no weekend shifts. Nurses and advanced practice nurses work alongside a multidisciplinary team of Family Physicians, Internists, Pediatricians, Ob-Gyns, Certified Nurse Midwives, Integrated Behavioral Health Clinicians, and Clinical Pharmacists. PCHC is notably the first and only community health center in Rhode Island to adopt the Epic EHR system, which may appeal to nurses familiar with that platform. Employee feedback reflects a workplace with above-average happiness but below-average stress management. The organization's community health mission creates strong purpose for staff, though the demands of serving a large, diverse patient population across multiple urban clinics may contribute to workload pressures. PCHC offers opportunities for both panel-based primary care and float team roles for nurse practitioners, providing flexibility in practice style.

PCHC's mission is to improve the well-being of the communities they serve through the delivery of high-quality, accessible, and affordable healthcare for all, regardless of a person's ability to pay. Their vision is to be an organization that makes a positive difference in communities by responding to healthcare needs and improving patients' quality of life. Core values include Integrity, Respect, Dignity, Compassion, Affordable Services, Financial Stewardship, and Advocacy.
