How do I become a patient of Wood River Health?

  1. Transfer Your Medical Records.  Complete a Health Information Release Form.  Drop off the form, mail it to us, fax it to 401.539.2490 or email it to medicalrecords@woodriverhealth.org.
  2. Complete a New Medical Patient Appointment Form. You can also call us at 401.539.2461 and provide this information over the phone. Or you can wait for us to call you after we receive your medical records.
  3. We Will Call You for an Intake. Before Dr. Fox can see you at Wood River Health, we first need to collect some information. We need to conduct a patient intake, which will take about 20 minutes. During this call, we will schedule your first appointment.

What if I have scheduled my first appointment, but I need to see Dr. Fox sooner?

Dr. Fox’s appointments are booked out several months, but we want to ensure your health care needs are met. Please call 401.539.2461 and let us know that you will see another provider. 

What if I have an urgent need but I’m not a Wood River Health patient yet?

Dr. Fox’s patients have same-day access to Express Care providers when possible. Please call 401.539.2461 between 8 AM and 10 AM to see if there is an opening. You will need to complete some paperwork online and arrive at least 30 minutes before your appointment. 

I have a question that isn’t on this form.
