A Healthy Washington for All
What is Public Health?
Public Health promotes and protects the health of people in their neighborhoods and communitites. We work to prevent disease before it happens.
Not only are public health programs backed by tons of evidence, they also have an excellent return on investment with about $14 return for every $1 invested.
