Providence Center

Esperanza Health Center is offering free COVID-19 testing next week!

At Providence Center we teach our students to use their voice and advocate for the needs of their community, they look to us to do the same. What they’ve done is created this facade of being collaborative and grassroots and community-based in order to make a case for this [vaccination operation] they’ve been granted, Rivera said. And it’s a shame that it’s been on the backs of our community. - Said our Executive Director, Siria Rivera, on recent concerns regarding an abandoned partnership for onsite COVID testing https://whyy.org//group-entrusted-with-philly-vaccine-cli/

This will NOT be any on-site COVID testing at Providence Center this week as our partners, Philly Fighting COVID are adjusting to a new contract with the city and new software. We are resuming on site testing on January 5th and will then continue testing every Tuesday and Thursday 9am to 5pm.

We send prayers to the family of Principal Maritza Hernandez who we know impacted the lives of so many of our youth here in Fairhill. She will be deeply missed. http://hosting-15103.tributes.com//Maritza-Hernandez-10850
