Public health is what we, as a society, do collectively to assure the conditions for people to be healthy. This requires that continuing and emerging threats to the health of the public be successfully countered. These threats include immediate crises, such as the AIDS epidemic; enduring problems, such as injuries and chronic illnesses; and growing challenges, such as the aging of the populations and the toxic by-products of a modern economy, transmitted through air, water, soil, or food.
These and many other problems raise in common the need to protect the nation's health through effective, organized, and sustained efforts led by the public sector.
