Description
An account of the resource
<p><em><strong>"We all have an obligation as citizens of this earth to leave the world a healthier, cleaner, and better place for our children and future generations."</strong></em></p>
<p>-Blythe Danner, American Actress<br /> <br />Public health focuses on protecting and improving the human condition, and prolonging life. It necessitates public investment in education, promotion of healthy lifestyles, and research for disease and injury prevention, among others. Public health agencies at both state and local levels are central to effective public health and health care systems. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), such systems involve “all public, private, and voluntary entities that contribute to the delivery of essential public health services within a jurisdiction.”</p>
<p>Elected officials and law enforcement officers play an important role in the development and regulation of public health and healthcare policy. A number of public health professionals, strive every day delivering services to protect the health of our families and communities, whether working in hospitals, nursing homes, emergency management services, schools or mental health facilities. Volunteers from charitable and philanthropic organizations also contribute a lot to ensure that public health and health care goals are met in places where resource constraints might present impediments. CDC also places emphasis on the important role of youth development organizations, recreation and arts-related organizations in supporting public health.</p>
<p>CDC has formulated a set of 10 essential public health and health care services that provide the framework for determining how well a jurisdiction is doing at assessing the performance of its system. Broadly these fit under policy development, assurance, and assessment. They include monitoring the public’s health status, investigating and diagnosing health problems, public awareness, enforcing laws and regulations that support public health and health care efforts, assuring a competent workforce, and continuous research and innovation to keep abreast of health problems.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
Stephen Smith, a physician and attorney, served on the New York City's Metropolitan Health Board and founded the American Public Health Association in 1872. This was the first national organization created to improve public health standards. Its initials goals were:
1. "To awaken and maintain the active and permanent interests of the people in sanitary administration;
2. To facilitate the enlightenment of the public on this topic
3. To promote the appointment of more competent health authorities
4. To promote science and measures for practical application to public hygiene."
When it was first formed, the APHA had only ten members. It is now the "oldest and most diverse organization of public health professionals in the world," and continues to protect the nation through preventive health services and activities. The health professionals of the APHA are "working to ensure access to health care, protect funding for core public health services and eliminate health disparities."
