I am excited to share the flyer for our upcoming COVID-19 Memorial, taking place on Saturday October 16. Central Providence has been hit hard by COVID-19 and many people and organizations continue to work hard to address the inequities made worse by the COVID-19 pandemic. Let’s come together to show our commitment to #ShiftthestatisticsPVD

Don't forget to register for our upcoming September 24 Collaborative meeting (10am-12pm) and send over any agenda items before Thursday, September 16.

The Central Providence HEZ will be teaming up with Tufts Health Plan and Councilwoman Kat Kerwin for a Family Fun Day on Thursday, September 23 from 4:30-6:30pm at Father Lennon Park.

In addition to food and entertainment, we'll be hosting a vaccine site for anyone 12 or older. All 3 vaccines will be available. Please share the registration link with your networks.
