What is Public Health?
"health is a state of complete physical, mental and social
well-being and not merely the absence of disease or
infirmity." (WHO, 1946)
Improving health is a shared responsibility not only of
health care providers, and public health officials, but also
a variety of other actors in the community who
contribute to the well-being of individuals and
populations.

What’s in it for You?
• “The process served to build networks and
reinforce partnerships in the community.”
• it served to eliminate competition, definitely
made for more collaboration – much of this due
to MAPP.”
• “One of the major results was community
recognition and creditability. This resulted in
much more political clout – more involved in
county and state affairs.”
• “A reputation for capability was created and
reputation is priceless.”
• “I would recommend it; it helps to define critical
issues and strategies.”
