Public Health Spending

This course provided great information and insight as to how and why Public Health Law and Policy is delivered through various means and avenues. It focused on the legal system as well as framing Issues of Public Health, Law, and Policy and its impact on target populations and society as a whole. Prior to this course, I had a vague understanding and idea of what public health law encompassed, but now at its completion I can say I have a lot more knowledge and insight from the various perspectives and viewpoints of my classmates and Dr. Spach.

One concept I learned a lot from was in Module 2, which focused on “Law and Public Health.” Here, I realized what an impact laws have with respect to public health initiatives and efforts to build healthier communities. According to (“Law and Public Health at CDC”, 2006) The indispensable role of law is evident across the entire history of U.S. public health—from early colonialists’ needs to defend against infectious threats to today’s innovative law-based approaches to preventing chronic diseases, injuries, and other problems The U.S. experience with smallpox illustrates how, at some points in history, law-based interventions were implemented even before science elucidated the nature of the public health threat and the basis of the intervention.

Additionally, Module 3 highlighted “Public Health Ethics.” This section was extremely beneficial as it provided an opportunity to research and present the various interactions between ethics and their relation to law and public health. According to (Gostin, 2010) Occasionally the interests of public health and the community can come into conflict. When that occurs, it is important to review one’s process, and ensure principles outlined in the HealthCare Workers Code of Ethics aligns with policy implementation or the establishment of law. There is a great deal that individuals cannot do to secure their health such as: environmental protection, hygiene and sanitation, clean air and surface water, uncontaminated food and drinking water, safe roads and products, and control of infectious disease. Therefore, the need to organize and collaborate on public health law and policy is critical. This part of the course clearly defined how ethical guidelines play into establishing law and policies. It was interesting to see the responses and feedback of my classmates’ thoughts in the discussion board as everyone had a different idea and approach to address the correlation between the two.

Overall this course opened my eyes to the benefits and challenges of establishing Public Health Law and Policy. All of my research and coursework illustrated that need for Public Health Law as it really impacts those with socioeconomic disadvantages and results in poor health outcomes. I can use this information moving forward to address and lobby for change at higher levels within my community.

Hello everyone,

This was a very interesting topic for discussion board to tell us what this course is about. I never gave any thought about what the difference was between public health and medicine. I always thought that medicine was the same as public health. Even though I learned that they go hand in hand, I learned that public health comes prior to medicine. Public health is provided on both state, and local levels, and there are many different images of public health. A few different images include different methods, different professions, and the general health of the public. According to our textbook’s definition in chapter one, public health is the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health and efficiency through organized community effort (Turnock, 2016). It makes me happy and feel comforted that so many communities come together to help the general public with their health. The main goal is to prolong lives and to prevent diseases and injuries. The key words that I focus on when learning about public health is prevention and protection. This makes public health different from medicine because public health deals with prevention, while medicine helps after a disease or injury has already happened. If someone becomes sick because the public health failed, then a person might take medicine to cure them.

One way public health impacts my daily life is though the job of a nutritionist. I attend school every day to pursue my career as a nutritionist, and a nutritionist is one of many jobs that help with public health. Sometimes I forget how many jobs are needed in different fields of health care in order to take care of the community. Another way public health impacts my every day life is through restaurant inspectors. I am currently a server at a restaurant that is constantly being cleaned and inspected. This is very important for the public health because if a restaurant does not pass an inspection, then many people in the community will get sick. One last way that public health impacts my every day life is through health issues that I currently have. Public heath provides help for people who can not afford all of their necessary medication. Without community help in public health care, I would not be able to save money on my medication. Overall, this was a great way to begin to learn about public health and how it effects the community.

What is the difference between medicine and public health?

I didn’t know there was much of a difference between medicine and public health. I knew they coincide with each other as in, you will need medicine when your health is not at its best. According to the American public Health Association, public health promotes and protects the health of people and the communities where they live, learn, and play. Some examples of public health achievements include cleaner and safer food, cleaner work environments, and vaccinations. Furthermore, the meaning of medicine is a substance used to treat disease or illness. While medicine saves one life at a time, public health saves millions at a time (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

Public health impacts my daily life in many ways, some simpler than others. For example, washing my hands after using the restroom or handling food is an easy task but it will prevent germs and bacteria. Also, I check the expiration dates on food when I am about to make breakfast to ensure I am not putting anything harmful in my body. Moreover, I work in a warehouse so public health plays a huge role in my work environment as well. We have monthly meetings and sometimes have speakers come in to teach us how to properly stretch before lifting heavy weight or even how to sit properly at our desks to prevent future health problems.
