Public Health

I was reading over some information on public health on Wikipedia just because I wanted to see what people had to say about it in this blog. I am excited to be able to earn a degree in a field such as public health because I feel it will benefit society greatly. Anything from helping people recieve vaccines to just have safe water to drink is important to me and it happens to be the example given in Wikipedia. It is important to me to be able to achieve a complete overall health and not just worry about dealing with and recovering from specific instances. I found that Wikipedia has provided me with information I already had a general idea about, but that it also is important for everyone in a social group to work together to achieve their overall health.
