April is National Public Health Month - Public Health is ROI. Saves Lives. Saves Money.
The value of a strong public health system is quite literally all around us. It's in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, and the places where we live, learn and play. It's in the thousands of people whose lives are saved by seat belts, the young people who say "No!" to tobacco and the children given a healthy start thanks to vaccines. It is no stretch to say that we are living example of the public health return on investment.
