Before you begin crafting your discussion responses for this week, be
sure to read the required materials and watch these two videos:

• Rebuilding Places of the Heart (Links to an external site.)
• Social Policy in Concrete (Links to an external site.)

These videos are designed to provide you with a broad understanding
of the topics that are discussed in class. This week, our focus is on
understanding public health basics: prevention of disease, clean air,
clean water, and food supplies. You will also learn about how different
cities approach and manage their public health issues for maximum
wellbeing of residents.

This week, evaluate your own community in terms of integrated
approaches to public health. Select a focus on disease prevention and
control, air, water, or food.

• What community-based strategies do you see in place to protect health?
• What health services, local organizations, or national organizations exist to support wellness in your area of focus?
• Do pollution or contamination in your area impact the focus you selected?
• What does your community need to do to improve public health in the area you selected for this discussion?
