Protecting Local Families
A new COVID-19 Testing Center is now open in Central Falls.
Beata Nelken M.D., a pediatrician at Jenks Park Pediatrics, opened the center to make it easier for families to stay healthy during the pandemic.
“Dr. Nelken’s team brings much needed COVID-19 testing, vaccines and support to some of the most vulnerable residents in our state,” said Domenic Delmonico, executive director of Rhode Island Medicaid at Tufts Health Plan. "They are the true health care heroes of this community. Every time there’s been a need here in Central Falls, they have figured out how to meet it right away.”
