Description

Everything is public health and public health is for everyone.

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. Some are there on purpose to prevent bad outcomes, some are issues that we still need to address, but most go unnoticed by many of us. 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. Every Thursday, this podcast explores a concept and delves into those hidden forces. Welcome to Everything is Public Health.

For too long, our spaces were designed for the convenience and safety of cars, not people. This is backwards. The ultimate goal should be about moving people, not moving cars. When we design spaces with people in mind, the flaws of our current car-centric design become obvious.

EDIT: There were multiple mistakes we made in this episode that we want to amend: We did not use appropriate people first language when discussing STIs, this is our mistake. When discussing topics like STI we should always default to people first language to avoid stigmatization. HIV can be treated to undetectable viral loads, which also means they cannot transmit the virus in this state. Using the term "infected" and "carrier" for people living or diagnosed with HIV is stigmat...

Such an interesting episode but so frustrating as a professional who went so long with dental care because school and part-time jobs, and low pay jobs didn't offer dental help. This country has got to get with the current century in healthcare!
