What Is Public Health—and Why Should You Care?

Public health is all around us. It’s the clean water we drink, the vaccines that keep us safe,

the emergencyresponse teams during outbreaks, and the programs that

promote mental health, nutrition, and physical activity.

 

In Linn County, public health means:

• Preventing the spread of disease

• Educating youth on safe choices

• Supporting families with resources

• Responding to health emergencies

• Promoting healthier, longer lives

​

With rising health concerns like STIs, chronic illness, and mental health needs,

public health work is more vital than ever.

Public health protects YOU, your family, and our whole community.

When we invest in health, we build a stronger, safer future—for everyone.
