Community Health Advocacy Program (CHAP)
The Community Health Advocacy Program (CHAP) works cooperatively with various Providence organizations to promote the physical, mental, and emotional health of individuals and the community as a whole. Composed of student volunteers in PLME, our teams identify relevant health issues and then develop programs to address these issues. CHAP provides the opportunity for communities and future health care professionals to meet the health care needs of areas that are often underserved due to a variety of social, economic, and cultural barriers.
