Welcome to Public Health Circle
Public health touches every part of our lives, from the air we breathe, to the policies that guide our healthcare, to the way communities come together to support one another. At Public Health Circle, our mission is simple: to make public health knowledge clear, accessible, and meaningful for everyone.
Our Mission
We believe that better health outcomes start with better information. Public Health Circle exists to connect people with insights on health trends, research, and policies that shape our daily lives. Whether you are a student, a professional, or someone simply curious about public health information, this is your space to learn, reflect, and engage.
What You’ll Find Here
On this blog, you’ll discover:
- Clear explanations of key public health concepts and issues.
- Insights into data and trends that affect health outcomes.
- Discussions of policies and programs that influence healthcare access and equity.
- Real-world examples of how public health shapes communities locally and globally.
Our posts are designed to help you not just understand the “what,” but also the “why” behind the issues.
Why We Call It a “Circle”
A circle symbolizes connection, inclusivity, and continuity. Public health isn’t just about individuals, it’s about communities and the systems that link us together. Here, we aim to create a circle of knowledge and dialogue where everyone can take part.
Who We Are
Public Health Circle is created and maintained by Dr. Watkins, a public health professional and professor with expertise in environmental and occupational health and safety, epidemiology, health services, health policy, and public health research. This blog reflects a passion for making complex information accessible and helping people see how public health connects to their own lives.
