We take that mission to heart. These projects in Central Falls, show some of the things we do to improve the lives and the health of people in our communities.

 
 

Futsal Courts

Futsal is a popular soccer-based game played on a hard court. Tufts Health Plan sponsored two new futsal courts on Ledge Street in Central Falls. This is part of a project with the City of Centeal Falls and Project Goal. These state-of-the-art courts will support the health and wellness of families in the area for many years.

 

Healthy Héroes

Healthy Héroes is a fun health and wellness program we recently ran for third grade students at two schools in Central Falls. The free 8-week program inspired kids to cut back their screen time and adopt healthy habits. Local groups, like the YMCA, the American Heart Association and the University of Rhode Island nutrition education program helped out. They taught kids about eating right and being active. Kids had fun and earned prizes for doing certain activities at home.
