For the Public's Health: Investing in a Healthier Future

Tue, 2012-04-17 17:49 — Kathy Gilbeaux

Released: April 10, 2012
Type: Consensus Report
Topic: Public Health
Activity: Public Health Strategies to Improve Health
Board: Board on Population Health and Public Health Practice

It spends extravagantly on clinical care but meagerly on other types of population-based actions that influence health more profoundly than medical services. The health system’s failure to develop and deliver effective preventive strategies continues to take a growing toll on the economy and society.
