Alert!
The Swine Flu and Your Family
There are everyday actions that can help protect the health of you and your family.
* Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
* Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze; alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
* Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth -- germs spread this way.
* Try to avoid close contact with sick people.

| Thundermist Hopes to Expand the West Warwick Site
 Thundermist has received a federal appropriation of $471,000 to design and equip a new primary care health center in West Warwick, RI, thanks to Senator Reed, Senator Whitehouse, and Congressman Langevin. Thundermist hopes to build a new, state-of-the-art, 12,000 square foot facility to replace Thundermist’s small, 3,600 square foot facility at 1219 Main Street. The expanded Thundermist facility will create 40 permanent jobs in the community in health care and serve an additional 4,800 patients with comprehensive primary care services (medical, dental, behavioral healthcare and social services) over the next five years.
At the request of the town of West Warwick, Thundermist established a community health center in 2004, along with a school-based health center on the campus of the West Warwick middle and high schools; both have reached full capacity. Although Thundermist serves over 5,000 patients, there is simply no way to meet the demand for services without expansion to more fully meet the needs of the community by increasing the medical, dental and behavioral health staff.
Thundermist opened a state-of-the art primary care center in Woonsocket RI, in 2005 and pioneered many new concepts in health care facility redesign. Those same elements will be incorporated into a new West Warwick facility, defined by the guiding principles of the mission, vision and values of the organization. The new facility will support Thundermist’s current use of an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) as well as support the continued development of a comprehensive, advanced medical home for all of Thundermist patients. |
