Everything is Public Health
Everything is public health and public health is for everyone.
So many things impact our health. The physical things around you, the social interactions, the policies you may never notice, are all quietly there, protecting our health and well-being in subtle ways everyday. Some are there on purpose to prevent bad outcomes, some are issues that we still need to address, but most go unnoticed by many of us. This is the world of public health; a science of understanding the countless forces and designing solutions to help prevent or mitigate harm and improve the health and well-being of the people. Every Thursday, this podcast explores a concept and delves into those hidden forces. Welcome to Everything is Public Health.

One Health is Public Health - Spillovers
One Health, the approach that connects health of people, animals, and the environment, is on full display when the COVID pandemic struck. Spillover happens when a virus that infects animals crosses over to infect humans, and it happens more often that you think. How can we use One Health principals to prevent future pandemics?
