What's Public Health?
The COVID-19 pandemic thrust public health into the spotlight like never before in the 21st century. However, emergency response is simply the tip of the iceberg when it comes to public health.

This includes offering suggestions for healthy behaviors, such as avoiding tobacco products and staying properly hydrated, as well as issuing guidelines for preventing the spread of infectious diseases. Through informative fact boxes and illuminating graphic organizers, which enhance the age-appropriate main text, readers learn about this crucial component of our health system.
