Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha has announced a merger between Brown Physicians, Inc. and Brown Health Medical Group.
In conditionally suspending an investigation into the merger, Brown University Health has agreed to take on 40-thousand new patients and hire up to 27 new primary care providers.
Additional conditions will increase access to primary care for Rhode Islanders and ensure that physicians are better supported and compensated.
The agreement is expected to be finalized today.
