The public health system represents the complex network of organizations that work towards fulfilling the public health mission of assuring conditions for a specific population. The public health system comprises governmental public health agencies, other public-sector agencies (such as schools, Medicaid and environmental protection agencies, and land-use agencies) and private-sector organizations whose actions have significant consequences for the health of the public. Discuss the public, private, and voluntary entities that are included within the Public Health System. What role can you take as a public health professional to contribute to the Public Health System? Give an example of a public health priority area or initiative and discuss how the public health enterprise worked to identify challenges, consider possible solutions, and improve the public health status of the affected population. How does the way the public health system is organized affect population health outcomes?
