About this Project

"What is Public Health?" was created to answer three questions:

• What does public health encompass?
• What impact does public health have on our lives?
• What types of careers are available in the field of public health?

While viewing this website, we hope you will gain a better understanding of the various roles public health professionals play each day to ensure a healthy American public. We encourage your continued curiosity of this increasingly important field and ask that you contact the correct organizations, linked within the website, for further information.

This website was developed by the Association of Schools of Public Health and was made possible by support from Pfizer.
