Reforms Ahead...

Because I am not a candidate for the Masters in Public Health, I came into this class with very little information and understanding of the public health system. After learning so much I feel incredibly motivated to make a difference in the public health world using my skills as a journalist. There is a definite need for awareness of the issues taking place within the system. I do honestly believe that a lot of people simple don't understand the complexities of the system and are scared of trying to understand them. Without understanding the situation people generally are not motivated to create or support reform. There is a definite gap in the education of the public on the public health system, how it works, how it doesn't and the difference it can make in ones personal life and the health of their community. Times and needs are always changing. Our health care system should be flexible enough to do the same. It's time for change and I think we can all make a difference. 

For those of you who didn't get a chance to watch the video on the Generation Public Health website, I've embedded it below.
