Public health is a way for everyone in a community to work together. Public health makes it possible for the public to be healthy. Public health helps to prevent outbreaks of epidemics and the spread of disease. Public health also involves protecting the environment, promoting health behaviors and preventing unintentional injuries. I have learned that public health deals with a variety of things and some of them are farmers and pesticides, children and car seats and recycled water.
Public health needs to make sure our water is safe to drink.
Too many people get diseases from contaminated water. They do this by giving us shots before we can catch infectious diseases. Other ways they help is by inventing things that to make everyday life easier. It includes many areas of health. Public health deals mainly with the prevention part of health.
