Anchor Medical Associates to Close all Locations, effective June 30, 2025
Dear Patient:
We are deeply saddened to announce the closing of Anchor Medical Associates, effective June 30, 2025.
For over 25 years, Anchor has provided high-quality, patient-centered medical care to our patients and families. The decision to close our practices has been extremely difficult, particularly against the backdrop of a shortage of primary care physicians across the state. While our commitment to our patients remains strong, we just cannot continue to operate in this increasingly challenging healthcare environment. We have been unable to hire replacements for our physicians who have retired over the course of the last decade—while costs continue to rise, reimbursement rates make it extremely difficult to attract new physicians to our state.
Effective April 30, 2025, we will first be closing our Warwick Pediatric/Adult Medicine office located at 400 Bald Hill Road in Warwick. Warwick providers will resume patient care services in our Lincoln office until June 30, 2025.
Effective June 30, 2025, we will close our last two offices: our adult medicine office located at 180 Corliss Street, Providence, and our pediatric and adult medicine offices located at 1 Commerce Street in Lincoln, RI.
Our primary focus remains meeting the health care needs of our patients in the best and safest way possible during these last months, and we are here to help make this as smooth a transition as possible.
Patients are encouraged to begin the search now for a new primary care provider and request copies of their medical records over the next 90 days before we close. Medical records will continue to be available after the June 30, 2025 closure date. A Medical Record Release form can be found on the Patient Resources page.
It has been our privilege to care for our patients and families over the past quarter century. Thank you for entrusting us with your own or your family’s care.
