This is Public Health Picture

                                                  


My example of public health is the hand sanitizer dispensers in Ramsey after you walk through the hand scanners. It is an example of public health, because the Ramsey center is trying to prevent germs and bacteria spreading. I choose this example because staying healthy is important to everyone and using hand sanitizers can reduce the amount of germs present. It is important to consider this public health, because germs spread quickly and using hand sanitizers can reduce that number, especially after using a hand scanner that hundreds of people have placed their hands on previously.

    This is an important example of public health because it helps to keep the community healthy when eating or using different facilities.It helps sterilize peoples hands from bacteria and germs.
