NOT MERE MEDICAL PROBLEM
Protection of Public Health Has Its
Foundation on Broad Municipal
Policy, Is Assertion.

The protection of public health Is
more than mere medical problem,
DR.. w. c. Rucker, assistant surgeon
general, United States public health
service, told the American Public
Health association.
Community health cannot be called
'purchaseable," he said. at must rest
on cooperation and a broad municipal
policy.
"A public health program for cities
is in reality nothing more or less thar
a complete plan for communal exist
ence." said Doctor Rucker.
Unfortunately, health has been con-
sidered in the past solely as a med
ical problem and the pendulum has
been enthusiastically swung so far
that health is almost regarded as an
artificial state to be achieved and
maintained solely through the inter
position of medical safeguards. Ex-
pert knowledge of disease is absolute
ly necessary for the work of health
department, but cannot be the founda-
ton of a broad municipal health pol
icy. Public health is something more
than a mere absence of disease. 1t is
the physiological functionation of the
community.
THE keyword in this public health
policy is cooperation - cooperation
having as its basis the full recognition
of the fact that in its last analysis the
health problem is an economic problem
and as such cannot be solved without
careful consideration of the economics
of the community"
