The Rhode Island Public Health Association (RIPHA) is the state affiliate of the American Public Health Association (APHA) - the oldest and most diverse organization of public health professionals in the world.   The Association aims to protect all Americans, their families, and their communities from preventable, serious health threats and strives to assure community-based health promotion and disease prevention activities and preventive health services are universally accessible in the United States. 

RIPHA fulfills that mission at the local level through educational forums (2nd Annual Health Care Legislative Forum), panel discussions, (Health Insurance Forum) special events, (Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" screening and Panel Discussion featuring Lt. Governor Elizabeth Roberts) and children's health fairs (National Public Health Week Launch at RI State House  - keynote Governor Donald Carcieri.)  Event Calendar
