Public Health Innovation

There are many ways to measure social impact. Our programs including Nourish Rhode Island, Food On The Move, Open Door Health, and Faith In Action benefit individuals, their communities, and address social and economic conditions that affect health.

Responding to the Mpox Virus Outbreak

We are helping lead the state’s response to the mpox virus crisis by offering solutions to address the outbreak. Our Open Door Health Clinic is offering testing and vaccinating the community as supply becomes available. We’re advocating for increased vaccine supply and resources to stop the spread of this virus.

Public Health Innovation

Our work is collaborative, informed by research, and aims to address real-world public health problems. Our activities fall into four categories:

Service

Our direct service programs are informed by research and community input. Our programs aim to address the needs identified by our communities.

Research

We evaluate all of our real-world public health programs to advance the health of everyone we aim to serve.

Policy

Our research and evaluation outcomes inform policy positions. These outcomes are also shared with policy makers, partners, and the media to drive action.

Training

Our activities strengthen the field through hosted dialogue, conferences and other events, specialized training, internships, and best practice development.
