What is Public Health?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Public health promotes and protects the health of people and the communities where they live, learn, work and play. It is the practice of preventing disease and promoting good health through education and access to services. Public health departments work with other community agencies to provide many important community services. This flier, What is Public Health<\/a><\/span>, by the American Public Health Association (APHA) shares more information. Additionally, APHA gives a clear explanation of the scope of public health through this video: \"That's Public Health<\/span>\"<\/a>.<\/p>\n
