Pawtucket-Central Falls Health Equity Zone

The Health Equity Zone (HEZ) project is a four-year place based initiative funded by the Rhode Island Department of Health and Centers for Disease Control. Our health is determined in part by access to social and economic opportunities; the safety of our neighborhoods and housing; our ability to access healthy food and equitable healthcare. The goal of the HEZ is to reduce health disparities for the residents of Central Falls and Pawtucket.
