Health

The Foundation's goals for our work in the health sector are to reduce the number of Rhode Islanders without a primary care "medical home" and to increase the number of primary care physicians practicing in Rhode Island. The indicators in this section provide critical information about population health and access to care in Rhode Island. Explore data on access to care, chronic disease, and health behavior in our state.

Primary care practitioners are essential to the goals of healthcare reform.
