The West Warwick Health Equity Zone (WWHEZ) is a collective response to issues the community has identified as a priority for their hometown. Join in!

Health Equity is achieved when every person has the opportunity to attain his or her full health potential and no social position or social determinant can disadvantage their opportunity. West Warwick Health Equity Zone (WWHEZ) is collaborating with many West Warwick businesses, organizations, and residents to address important community health priorities and create healthy, happy, and safe neighborhoods. West Warwick's Health Equity Zone has a HUB! We call it the HEZ Hub, which is a free community space that can be used for any community event that connects the community. We aim to:
• Improve access to healthy foods
• Promote teen health
• Prevent drug overdose, addiction
• Promote recovery and wellness
• Promote a healthy community that provides opportunities for physical activity
