RIPHA brings together professionals in a unique, multi-disciplinary environment for idea exchange, study, and action. Membership in RIPHA is open to any individual employed or interested in the field of public health. 

Since its inception in 1996, RIPHA has been guided by four principles: 

• To take leadership on issues of population and environmental health
• To promote the discussion of issues and dissemination of information concerning public health policy
• To conduct educational programs to increase public health knowledge and promote healthy behavior among members and the public at large
• To foster collaboration with others interested in protecting and promoting the health of Rhode Island and tribal residents

Rhode Island Public Health Association is an affiliated association of the American Public Health Association (APHA). We have collaborated with APHA to grow stronger as organizations, to share expertise, influence, and resources, and to advocate for common priorities at the local, state and federal levels.

APHA is the national voice of public health and champions the health of all people and all communities. It is the only organization that combines a nearly 150-year perspective, a broad-based member community and the ability to influence federal policy to improve the public’s health.

Racism and Public Health

Racism and associated violence are public health issues that should have no place in our world. The Rhode Island Public Health Association stands with the Black Lives Matter movement and all of those fighting systemic institutionalized racism and injustices. Public health goes beyond vaccines and contact tracing to include social determinants of health - the conditions in our environment that impact health. We recognize racism and violence as social determinants of health that are born of ignorance, bigotry, and hatred. End racism now - there is no alternative.
