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.

My choice is an example of public health because it helps people who have bicycles to park them in a safe area near the stores. It promotes public safety and transportation. I chose this example because many people ride their bikes as their form of transportation, and it’s a healthy way to get their way around especially when one is commuting from school to work. People who have bikes need to have a safe and accessible area to park their bikes. It’s important that others consider this example of public health because they might have bikes of their own and it keeps their bikes safe and accessible wherever they go.
