What’s next for Public Health?
Health Affairs Forefront, by Michael Yudell, Joseph J. Amon; 1/23/24
Public health in the United States is in crisis. ... If public health is “what we, as a society, do collectively to assure the conditions in which people can be healthy,” then it is time to do just that, capitalizing on this moment to lead with our values of professionalism and trust, health and safety, health justice and equity, interdependence and solidarity, human rights and liberty, and inclusivity and engagement. These are values that many Americans share, and we must work to convince a skeptical public that can be deeply cynical of our field, that we are here to listen and to help as we fight to improve the public’s health.
