Fourth Annual RI Life Index Launch

November 14, 2022 - 2:00 pm

Hosted by Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island and Brown University School of Public Health

The RI Life Index, which details Rhode Islanders’ perceptions of health and well-being in our state, is built from a survey of Rhode Island residents focused on social factors influencing health and well-being outcomes, including access to quality care, affordable housing, nutritious food, and transportation. This session will share the 2022 results and provide the opportunity for conversation with stakeholders.

This hybrid event is hosted by Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island and the Brown University School of Public Health. For those who choose to attend virtually, a Zoom link will be distributed the morning of November 14, 2022.

Seating is limited, so please register early. In-person registration will be closed when we reach capacity.

Parking is available at the South Street Landing Parking Garage at 330 Eddy Street.
(Rates are $7 for under two hours and $12 for 2-4 hours)

Please register with this form and submit your questions!
