Bill > H6355

This resolution formally recognizes May 22, 2025, as "Rhode Island Community Health Center Day" to honor the state's Community Health Centers, which have provided comprehensive medical, dental, and behavioral healthcare services for over fifty years. The resolution highlights that these health centers serve more than 200,000 Rhode Islanders across all five counties, regardless of age or ability to pay, and offer additional services like language interpretation, transportation, and case management. The eight specific community health centers are named, and the resolution notes their significant economic impact, including creating 3,408 jobs and generating over $545 million in economic activity in 2021. The resolution also emphasizes that these centers are governed by patient-majority boards, ensuring they meet community needs, and calls for the Secretary of State to transmit certified copies of the resolution to each of the eight named community health centers as a formal recognition of their important work in the state's healthcare system.
