RIPHA Chapter Public Health Clubs Students across Rhode Island are starting their own RIPHA Public Health Club chapters. Chapter clubs follow a project based model, which is action oriented, rather than only discussion. Each club provides students with the opportunity to develop and carry out public health projects on campus and in the surrounding community.
