Our Purpose

"Public Health Society is committed to promote and protect the health of its community and educate its people about health, while creating a healthy environment for current and future generations. Public Health Society focuses on preventing diseases by going deeper and understanding the root or origin causing people to get sick (from a personal situation to a mental state). The organization’s main purpose is to fight against health disparities or circumstances preventing people in the community to have a healthy life (e.g., economic stability, cultural barriers, health care system, environment, food, discrimination, stigmas, among others). We believe that fighting against health disparities will bring our community closer to health equity. Public Health Society strongly believes in a healthy minds, healthy lives approach, and is devoted to raising educated, informed, caring and giving students who are willing to give back to the community."
