Creating Health Equity and Healthy Living in (South County) Southern Rhode Island Through Biking

Washington County (aka South County) comprises nine cities, towns, and (a lot of small parishes) many of which hug Rhode Island’s southern coast. The region features both affluence and “invisible” pockets of poverty, which has led to health disparities, which Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds of Washington County, Rhode Island, will address as well.

Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds is primarily funded by the Rhode Island Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for our role as one of 10 Health Equity Zones (HEZ) in the state. The Youth Mental Health First Aid Training is funded via SAMHSA. South County Health underwrites administration and staffing.
