RIDOH Closes Camp Fuller YMCA Over Water Quality Concerns

The Rhode Island Department of Health has recommended closing the swimming area at Camp Fuller YMCA after assessing water quality concerns. RIDOH will keep reviewing water conditions at swimming areas statewide through Labor Day weekend to ensure swimmer safety.

South County Health Bolsters Cancer Center Staff Following Resignations

Following the resignation of several hematology oncology providers due to funding issues, South County Health in Washington County has announced the hiring of three new hematology oncologists. The new doctors will start between September 18 and October 14, maintaining uninterrupted patient care. Some of the resigning staff will remain until mid-October, and none have relinquished their medical privileges.

Celebrate Summer with Fresh, Local Foods

Make the most of summer by visiting your local farmers' markets for the freshest, locally-harvested foods. Enjoy the unbeatable taste of Rhode Island-grown tomatoes, corn, summer squash, lettuce, and blueberries, perfect for complementing a meal of locally-sourced meat or seafood. Shopping at a farmers' market is not only a nutritious choice but also a delightful way to celebrate the bounty of the summer harvest.
Support local farmers and savor the flavors of the season!
