EAST PROVIDENCE – A new facility has been built at 375 Wampanoag Trail for University Medicine to serve its primary care and sub-specialty patients.

Eight of University Medicine’s practices moved into the new building in June, taking up three out of the four floors, or 54,000 square feet of medical office space.

Construction on the $6.5 million building began late last year. The building and site is owned by Marshall Properties Inc. of Pawtucket.

According to a news release from University Medicine, the project supports the “patient-centered medical home” model of care, which allows for collaboration and coordination between primary care and the specialties.

“The design model is intentional, and is new from the ground up – not a rehab of an existing facility,” Dr. Louis B. Rice, president and physician-in-chief of University Medicine, said in a statement. “Our construction project is moving along as planned, and we are excited to be soon moving several of our existing patient care sites and office locations to our new address. Patients will experience a facility that is responsive to and centered around their needs and our desired outcomes for their quality of care. We will continue to operate primary care offices in Providence (North Main Street), East Greenwich, Warwick and Aquidneck Island, as well as specialty satellite offices, for the convenience of our patients.”

The UM practices that will be moving into the new facility are: General Internal Medicine at 111 Plain St. (Providence), Gastroenterology at 110 Lockwood St. (Providence), Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine at 407 East Ave. (Pawtucket), Hypertension and Kidney Diseases at Rhode Island and The Miriam Hospitals, Primary Care at 285 Governor St. (Providence), Primary Care at 1275 Wampanoag Trail (East Providence), Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine at Rhode Island Hospital, and Rheumatology at Rhode Island Hospital and Bristol Medical Center.

University Medicine is a nonprofit primary care, specialty outpatient and sub-specialty medical group practice with more than 200 physicians at multiple patient care locations throughout Rhode Island.
