DEFINING PUBLIC HEALTH
“Public health is the science of protecting and improving the health of communities through: Promotion of healthy lifestyles, Research for disease and injury prevention, and Detection and control of infectious diseases.
Clinical professionals focus on treating individuals after they become sick or injured. In contrast, public health professionals try to prevent problems from happening or recurring; this is done through implementing educational programs, recommending policies, administering services, and conducting research.
A large part of public health is promoting healthcare equity, quality, and accessibility.” - CDC
