Everything is Public Health

MJ and Cass

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.
