Public Health Is:
• A set of programs and services
• A way of thinking about problems and solutions
• A whole-of-society approach – across sectors,
governments, states, jurisdictions
• Beyond just the health sector, but with
leadership from public health
![Page 5: 1 -Dr. David Butler-Jones, MD -MHSc, LLD(h), FRCPC, FACPM, CCFP -Chief Public Health Officer of Canada.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649e165503460f94b01958/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Role of Public Health?
• Not just about longer life… About maximizing healthy years Supporting through life course, when people are well,
when they’re not, until the end.
• Public health has a fundamental role: in understanding impacts of physical and social
environments on our health to advise other sectors, and provide leadership in
what we can all do to promote healthy aging to engage partners across society to build healthy
enabling environments

Report on the State of Public Health
• Seniors’ vulnerability crosses
diseases and risk•We are only as healthy as the
least healthy among us• Poverty about more than just
lack of money
• Resources for the basics. Influence. Connections. These are the differences between good health, and
great health.

“I’ve got it too Omar… a strange feeling like we’ve just been going in circles”

So what can we do?
• Socio-economic determinants interact to
influence health An improvement in any of these determinants can
improve health behaviours and outcomes.
• Factors that influence our health can be
positively impacted by the different sectors of
society working together to address health and
social inequalities through interventions.
• Some examples of interventions follow

A commitment to change
• Health is influenced by the type of society we choose
• No one is immune to health problems and health inequalities – everyone is affected
• Many policies and programs already contributing to a reduction in inequalities in health
• Canada has the ability to build on these experiences
• All Canadians have a role to play
