Public health programs protect the whole community by preventing, slowing and stopping the spread of disease, by preventing injuries, by addressing issues that affect community health, and by sharing information and tools to help people live healthier lives.
“Public health service should be as fully organized and as universally incorporated into our governmental system as is public education. The returns are a thousand fold in economical benefits, and infinitely more in reduction of suffering and promotion of human happiness.” — Herbert Hoover
“The public health system is the constellation of governmental and nongovernmental organizations that contribute to the performance of essential public health services for a defined community or population.” — Public Health Accreditation Board
“In public health, you can impact more than one person at a time. The whole society is your patient.”— Tom Frieden
“I believe that the best buy in public health today must be a combination of regular physical exercise and a healthy diet.”— Julie Bishop
Public health impacts every person in our community every day.
You wouldn't want to imagine a world without public health!
