Westerly, RI - July 13, 2020 - Westerly Community Credit Union recently donated $10,000 to the South County Health COVID-19 Relief Fund.

We appreciate them and are happy to help support them, especially during these unprecedented times.”
“I can’t say enough about the community support South County Health has received during this COVID pandemic,” said Aaron Robinson, President/CEO of South County Health. “This generous donation from Westerly Community Credit Union comes at a critical time as patients are starting to return for medical care they’ve put off.
