Tomorrow night at 8:30 PM, our Executive Director, Nicholas Oliver be on 990 WBOB's The Rotunda talking how Rhode Island missed the moment through a once-in-a-generation federal funding opportunity for the Rural Health Transformation Program within the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" to bring real access to healthcare in Rhode Island's rural areas.

"From Tiverton to Burrillville and from Westerly to Foster, there are Rhode Islanders who live miles from the nearest clinic, hospital or bus stop. For these residents, many of them elderly, disabled or chronically ill, simply getting to a physician’s office can be a day-long ordeal or an impossible task. Our state’s health disparities are not just about income or insurance; they are geographic and structural. The only reliable bridge to those who are otherwise unreachable is the network of home care providers already serving on the front lines of our dilapidated health system."

If you believe that "health equity" should be more than just a political buzz phrase, tune in, share the post and feel free to submit questions.
