South Providence Health Equity Zone (SPHEZ) is a community led collaborative working build a healthier and more resilient neighborhood in the 02905 zip code. Our collaborative includes resident, business, and community based organization stakeholders working together to affect change and address health inequities. Now in our second year, the place-based SPHEZ Collaborative has identified chronic disease and accesss to healthcare services as its priority areas of focus. Workgroups will begin tackling the systems and structures that perpetuate inequities within these priority areas, from within the community itself.
Anyone living in the 02905 is encouraged to participate.
The SPHEZ is focused on neighborhoods in the 02905 area.
