The Rhode Island Department of Health provides seed funding for the Warren HEZ which is supported by East Bay Community Action Program (EBCAP) as its backbone agency. Community-Driven Warren’s Health Equity Zone will be led by the community, for the community. Currently in its start-up phase, the Warren HEZ will use a collaborative process to conduct a community assessment and build a plan of action to address the factors that keep our neighbors and neighborhoods from achieving their full potential. Connect & Collaborate The HEZ model encourages and prepares neighbors and community partners to collaborate to create healthy places for people to live, learn, work, and play. Health equity means that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be healthier. A Steering Committee that represents the diverse makeup of the community, including residents, community organizations and town support, will lead the Warren HEZ. The Warren HEZ is supported through its backbone agency, East Bay Community Action Program (EBCAP), which provides a wide array of health and human services to children, youth, families, adults, and elders. Through its health, education, and social support services, EBCAP helps those in need in communities throughout the East Bay.
