Friday, August 07, 2015
BankRI has awarded Clinica Esperanza/Hope Clinic a $4,250 grant to expand BankRI's pre employment physical clinic to twice monthly. Clinica Esperanza/Hope Clinic is a free health clinic serving uninsured Rhode Islanders. The clinic has experienced a 70 percent increase in the number of people requesting pre-employment physicals.
“The fact that Clinica Esperanza/Hope Clinic has seen an increase in the number of individuals needing physicals before starting a new job is a positive sign for the ongoing recovery of our state’s economy. For Rhode Island to be prosperous, we need to put as many of our neighbors back to work as possible, and this is a program that works towards that goal by reducing the financial burden of healthcare for those struggling to make ends meet," said Mark J. Meiklejohn, President and CEO of BankRI.
