The Invisible Shield examines how public health makes modern life possible, but it is underfunded, undervalued and misunderstood, putting our health at risk.
“This is a moment to really tell the story of public health as to why it matters, what it does and how much is fundamentally at stake for whether people can live the lives they want to live.”
Vice Dean for Public Health Practice and Community Engagement; Director, Bloomberg American Health Initiative; and Professor of the Practice in Health Policy and Management at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
