Description
Everything is public health and public health is for everyone.
The sibling podcast: https://publichealth_isfor_everyone.buzzsprout.com/
So many things impact our health. The physical things around you, the social interactions, the policies you may never notice, are all quietly there, protecting our health and well-being in subtle ways everyday. This is the world of public health; a science of understanding the countless forces and designing solutions to help prevent or mitigate harm and improve the health and well-being of the people. Public health saved your life today, and you probably didn't notice.
