prevent disease and preserve, promote, restore, and protect health for the comm

unity and the population within it. Community-
KU KU KU KU KU KU

Uis on individual or family-centered sickness care.

based prevention programs led to the increase in life expectancy from less than 5
KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU K U




0 years in 1900 to more than 78 years in 2013. Although people are excited when
KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU




a new drug is discovered that cures a disease or when a new way to transplant or
KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU




gans is perfected, it is important to know about the significant gains in the health
KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU




of populations that have come largely from public health accomplishments.
