What is public health? Students in the UGA Health & Wellness class are here to help you find out! They have strategically identified examples in the Athens community that they feel represent public health in action. This blog is dedicated to explaining, understanding, and discussing what their interpretations of public health, as well as their reactions to learning about topics of health and wellness.

TIPH photo

This is a picture I took donwtown. I selected it because it is an effort to keep the Athens community air cleaner. I think that it qualifies as public health because it was funded by the city of Athens and they have these posted on every block to help smokers dispose of their cigarettes to avoid littering and hopefully encourage people to put their cigarettes out in large groups in order to prevent the harms of second hand smoke. I think these are very effective efforts to promote public health
