HOUSE RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING MAY 22, 2025, AS "RHODE ISLAND COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER DAY"

This resolution designates May 22, 2025, as "Rhode Island Community Health Center Day" to honor the state's eight community health centers. It recognizes these centers for providing affordable, comprehensive care to over 200,000 residents regardless of income, employing over 2,100 staff, and supporting local economies. The resolution is purely ceremonial and does not create new laws or funding; it simply formally acknowledges the centers' contributions. The eight centers listed - such as Providence Community Health Centers and Blackstone Valley Community Health Care - will receive certified copies of the resolution.
