Together We Can: Pawtucket & Central Falls
Participatory Budgeting in the Pawtucket & Central Falls Health Equity Zone
Help Fund a Women's Health/OBGYN Practice at Jenks Park Clinic
Jenks Park Pediatrics + is a clinic that started out providing pediatric care in Central Falls and expanded to include COVID testing and other services to meet the needs of the community. Currently they are trying to expand healthcare for women in the community, but malpractice insurance alone is $12,000 per year for the additional staff. If the clinic can get the money to start this practice it can become self supporting over time, but startup costs are a big issue. I would propose that $30,000-$40,000 dollars of the available money be provided to the Jenks Clinic specifically to support expansion of OBGYN services in particular.
Currently the clinic is providing healthcare to many people who face barriers to care and is a trusted healthcare provider in the community and can provide data on healthcare services provided to uninsured people.
