HOUSE RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING MAY 22, 2026, AS "RHODE ISLAND COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER DAY" IN THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND

This bill designates May 22, 2026, as "Rhode Island Community Health Center Day" to honor the state's community health centers. It directly affects eight specific organizations across Rhode Island that provide affordable medical, dental, and behavioral care to over 200,000 residents annually. The resolution lists these centers by name and directs the Secretary of State to send certified copies of the proclamation to each organization. By establishing this official day, the bill aims to recognize the economic and social contributions of these facilities without changing any laws or funding.
