Promoting healthy lifestyles by using population-based research to create programs and services that make a difference no matter what your age or stage in life.  Public health works in communities, big and small, to detect and respond to health trends.  Working with government, community partners and programs public health helps protect the health of our entire population.

While health care, like clinical professionals, doctors and nursed focus on treating people after they become sick or injured - public health works to prevent illness and injury by recommending policies, providing services and research.  Working to reduce disparities, public health is here to promote health equality and accessibility across our communities.
