Description

PASCOAG -- Jim Whiteside lives about as far into the woods of northwestern Rhode Island as you can get without being in another state. 


Which would not be remarkable until you learn of the multiple health challenges that limit his vision, hearing and mobility. 


But thanks to a community health center that makes house calls and provides transportation to office appointments, Whiteside, a retired social worker, remains independent in his home of many years on pristine Wakefield Pond, near Buck Hill.
