Washington County comprises nine cities & towns and (other villages and census-designated places), many of which hug Rhode Island’s southern coast. The region features affluence and “invisible” pockets of poverty, leading to health disparities. To address those differences, the Rhode Island Department of Health created a HEZ (Health Equity Zone) – Healthy Bodies Healthy Minds of Washington County (HBHMWCRI). The HEZ and its backbone partner, Wood River Health Services, are based in Hope Valley, RI.
