Walk The Rhode To Health organizes a monthly walk, hosted by a different RTHC member hospital, at a different location around the state each month. There is no cost to participate and different walking distances will be scheduled.

The Rhode to Health Coalition created a Healthy Shopping List as a tool to help you make healthier choices when shopping for food. The shopping list has spaces for you to write out the items you need to buy at the grocery store as well as healthy suggestions right on the list that you can refer to during your shopping trip.
