Brown Medicine

What Brown Medicine does

Brown Health Medical Group (publicly known as Brown Medicine) is a 501(c)(3), physician-led, physician-governed integrated multi-specialty physician practice organized to respond to the changing healthcare environment that encourages integration and shared risk. Founded in 1994 as part of Rhode Island's first health system alongside Rhode Island Hospital and The Miriam Hospital, the practice operates today as a subsidiary of Brown University Health and serves patients across Rhode Island and Massachusetts through a wide provider network spanning primary care, behavioral health, urgent care, and more than 25 specialty service lines including cardiology, gastroenterology, oncology, neurology, neurosurgery, orthopedics, ophthalmology, urology, and pediatrics.

The group's technical core is a single electronic health record (MyChart) that consolidates patient records, test results, care plans, scheduling, and provider communication across the network, enabling clinical continuity and cross-specialty care coordination. The practice maintains academic affiliation with The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and is integrated with the broader Brown University Health academic system — which encompasses Rhode Island Hospital, Hasbro Children's Hospital, The Miriam Hospital, Bradley Hospital, Newport Hospital, Gateway Healthcare, Saint Anne's Hospital, and Morton Hospital.

Revenue is generated through standard healthcare service delivery billed via insurance and financial assistance programs; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. The organization has no disclosed funding rounds, is not venture-backed, and has no public ticker. CEO Ann Kashmanian leads the entity. Patient acquisition occurs primarily through the Find a Doctor tool, urgent care walk-ins, primary care physician referrals, and the MyChart scheduling portal — supported by a content marketing engine (Be Well blog) and social media presence across Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn.
