Public Health in PVD
Providence is a great place to live, study, and practice public health.
Providence in the Press
Rhode Island isn’t just a great place to live
Comprising 1,000 square miles and 1 million people, the smallest state in the union is manageable in scope while being economically and ethnically diverse. Which makes it the ideal place not only to collect data, but also to evaluate interventions and understand why they work.
Rhode Island's small size means that no one is ever out of reach. Our students have access to organizations and government agencies—from the insurance commissioner's office to the lieutenant governor's office, from the Department of Health to the seven local hospitals affiliated with Brown's Alpert Medical School—that are key to improving population health.
