Today, the Rhode Island Department of Health (HEALTH) presented 11 healthcare providers with a Community Partnership Award. This award is presented to individuals or groups in Rhode Island whose contributions are exceptional and support the mission of HEALTH.
Each of the eleven providers participated in the state’s first Flu Vaccination Day in November and hosted flu vaccination clinics during non-traditional times that were more convenient for patients. Flu Vaccination Day gave Rhode Islanders the opportunity to protect themselves and their families from getting the flu. In addition, vaccine was offered at no charge to anyone who was uninsured. The participants included private providers, mass immunizers and pharmacies.
The Award recipients were: CCAP – Family Health Services, Cranston CCAP Wilcox Health Services Coastal Medical, Park Hillside Avenue Family and Community Medicine JB Pharmacy Lincoln Pediatric Associates Scituate Health Alliance VNA of Care New England VNS of Newport and Bristol Counties VNS of Greater Rhode Island The Wellness Company
