Public health is what our society does collectively to assure the conditions in which people can be healthy. Because public health success in prevention and protection often is invisible to the society it serves, its value is hidden. The exhibition "Milestones in Public Health: Accomplishments in Public Health Over the Last 100 Years," based on a book of the same name, highlights how public health is fundamental to the well-being of our nation and is at the center of every family and community.

The exhibition "celebrates the discoveries, solutions, and innovations ...
