Public health focuses on protecting and promoting health at the population level through disease prevention, health promotion, and responding to public health emergencies. It differs from healthcare which focuses on treating individual patients. An effective public health system assesses health status, prevents diseases and injuries, responds to disasters, promotes access to care, and enforces public health laws. Core public health services include monitoring health, educating the public, developing policies, enforcing laws, conducting research, and assuring a competent workforce. In Missouri, leading causes of death are heart disease, cancer, stroke, and respiratory diseases. Public health has helped increase life expectancy through vaccination, motor vehicle safety laws, and controlling infectious diseases. However, chronic diseases are now more common

Leveraging Assets to Improve Health and Equity in Rural Communitiesnado-web
This presentation was delivered at NADO's Annual Training Conference, held in Anchorage, Alaska on September 9-12, 2017.
A growing body of research shows that people living in rural communities experience inequities in health and well-being compared to their urban counterparts. The NORC Walsh Center for Rural Health Analysis, with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, is conducting formative research to explore opportunities to improve health
and equity in rural communities using an asset-based community development approach. This session will provide an overview of rural health disparities data, followed by preliminary findings and key recommendations to strengthen rural communities
based on an enhanced understanding of culture and history, priorities, assets, partners, and promising strategies unique to and common across rural communities and regions.

Presentation by Commissioner Choucair at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine Physician Assistant Program for a Public Health Presentation in Behavioral and Preventive Medicine I Course.
In Spring 2013, we are on the precipice of dramatic, disruptive change in the health field that offers an unprecedented opportunity and challenge to transform health care and population health.
We know that traditional public health approaches along with more and better health care are not enough to improve health outcomes, equity, and cost. We must also:
- implement sustainable, fundamental "upstream" changes that address the root causes of disease and disability; and
- transform the way we deliver health care to ensure access to quality, affordable health care for all.

National Center for Health in Public Housing Presentation - May 2012DC Cancer Consortium
The National Center for Health in Public Housing recently sponsored the 2012 Health Care for Residents of Public Housing National Training Conference on May 1 -3 at the Westin Hotel in Alexandria, Virginia.
The Citywide Advisory Board Health Planning Committee presented a workshop entitled: Improving Health among Public Housing Residents in the District: A Resident Driven Process. The panel consisted of DCHA resident leader, Kenneth Council, who chairs this committee, and Committee members, Diana Lapp, Deputy Chief Medical Director of Unity Health Care; Robert Grom, Chief Development Office and Deputy Director of the DC Cancer Consortium; and Charles Debnam, Director of Health Education Services at Breathe DC. Julian Wilson of the Office of Resident Services moderated the panel discussion.
Panelists shared highlights of the committee’s work, including:
• Residents partnering with DCHA, the DC Department of Health and many other District health-related organizations to implement a resident-driven community health needs assessment
• Collaboration on efforts to address the District’s high rates of cancer and tobacco-related health issues.
• Coordination of data collection and reporting on specific health challenges facing DCHA public housing residents;
• Dissemination of information on health screenings and support services
• Collaboration with UDC as the lead applicant in the development of a grant application to HUD for improvement of asthma management
• Introduction of the Langston Gardening Club (LGC) to program managers at DOH which enabled LGC to make a grant application to expand its efforts and introduce community gardening to other public housing and low-income communities
• Because of the particular severity of health problems in Wards 7 and 8, partners have met with senior officials at both the Children’s National Medical Center and the United Medical Center (UMC) in an effort to coordinate services
Panelists were united in their agreement that much more work must be done to improve the health of DC’s public housing residents. Participants gained valuable knowledge to take back to their own comes
Based upon pre- and post- session testing, attendees reported that they found the workshop very useful and gave it a most favorable evaluation.

Recognize different abnormalities of taste perception and their causes.
Key Topics:
Significance of Taste Sensation:
Differentiation between pleasant and harmful food
Influence on behavior
Selection of food based on metabolic needs
Receptors of Taste:
Taste buds on the tongue
Influence of sense of smell, texture of food, and pain stimulation (e.g., by pepper)
Primary and Secondary Taste Sensations:
Primary taste sensations: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Umami
Chemical basis and signal transduction mechanisms for each taste
Taste Threshold and Index:
Taste threshold values for Sweet (sucrose), Salty (NaCl), Sour (HCl), and Bitter (Quinine)
Taste index relationship: Inversely proportional to taste threshold
Taste Blindness:
Inability to taste certain substances, particularly thiourea compounds
Example: Phenylthiocarbamide
Structure and Function of Taste Buds:
Composition: Epithelial cells, Sustentacular/Supporting cells, Taste cells, Basal cells
Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes
Taste Sensitivity and Adaptation:
Decrease in sensitivity with age
Rapid adaptation of taste sensation
Role of Saliva in Taste:
Dissolution of tastants to reach receptors
Washing away the stimulus
Taste Preferences and Aversions:
Mechanisms behind taste preference and aversion
Influence of receptors and neural pathways
Impact of Sensory Nerve Damage:
Degeneration of taste buds if the sensory nerve fiber is cut
Abnormalities of Taste Detection:
Conditions: Ageusia, Hypogeusia, Dysgeusia (parageusia)
Causes: Nerve damage, neurological disorders, infections, poor oral hygiene, adverse drug effects, deficiencies, aging, tobacco use, altered neurotransmitter levels
Neurotransmitters and Taste Threshold:
Effects of serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) on taste sensitivity
Supertasters:
25% of the population with heightened sensitivity to taste, especially bitterness
Increased number of fungiform papillae

2. What is Public Health?
• Public health is often confused with
health care.
• A health care provider diagnoses and
treats individual patients.
• Public health professionals develop plans
of action to improve the health status of
the entire population.
3. • Focus of public health has changed over
the years.
• Early efforts directed toward disease
prevention.
• Expanded insurance coverage to most
people has allowed public health to focus
on its principal roles of protecting the
public and promoting health.
