Public Health isthe art and science of improving and protecting the health of entire communities by applying the principles of education, preventative medicine, control and monitoring of environmental dangers, and proper sanitation.

Public Health has had a significant impact on our society, and there are many public health milestones that have led us to where we are today.

An example is a song, "Ring around the Rosy," and its connection with the outbreak of the plague and smallpox back in the 1600s. And how Dr. Jenner came up with the vaccine for smallpox. Or the link John Snow found between the water pump and the spread of cholera. As you can tell, I love the stories behind these great discoveries!

The CDC has made a list of 10 primary milestones. In this assignment, you are required to research one public health achievement (and there are many) and report on it.

Question:

1. Research one public health achievement (and there are many) and report on it.
