Uninsurance disproportionately affects minority populations of Rhode Island (Latino/Hispanic, African American, Asian, Caribbean, Central and South American) and is associated with higher morbidity and mortality in these population groups. CEHC offers an integrated system of health care that addresses the whole patient. By combining Health Education and Nutrition information along with Financial Literacy, we hope to enable our patients to succeed and build a better life and a healthier life.
We are fortunate to partner with a great group of community service organizations who come to our clinic to provide access to their services directly to our patients. Combining health care with access to essential community service organization (English Literacy, Financial Literacy), as implemented by CEHC, has already had a tremendous positive impact on our patients' lives.
