What Brown Medicine does
Mission
Brown Medicine is a non-profit, academic, multi-specialty medical group with practice locations in providence, ri and surrounding communities. Our three-part mission combines patient care, teaching, and research, enabling us to provide exceptional care locally, nationally, and globally.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Brown Medicine provided primary care and specialty care at numerous sites throughout rhode island as well as outpatient and inpatient care through nine subspecialty divisions at rhode island hospital, miriam hospital and the providence veteran's administration hospital. Brown Medicine physicians ran the hospitalists programs at both the rhode island and miriam hospitals. In addition, Brown Medicine offered medical care at all seven of rhode island's inpatient kidney dialysis centers and two stand alone outpatient dialysis centers, and Brown Medicine offered a travel clinic.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $89M to $78M (−13%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 7% · 2021 4% · 2022 2% · 2023 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
5% of BROWN MEDICINE’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (1% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
