Creating Change: Leadership for the Health of the Public - and the Republic

Professionals in public health fields sometimes think they are; disfavored in the pecking order of the health care system. However, great leadership in public health has repeatedly created major and necessary change in that system. Activist U.S. Surgeons General, epidemiologists, biostatisticians, infectious disease specialists, environmental scientists, and health services researchers started the war against tobacco use, demonstrated varying physician practice patterns, fought the early battles against the spread of HIV, helped create awareness of environmental hazards, and forced health care professionals to take the quality of care seriously. In each case, the challenges were huge, the obstacles many, and the risks substantial. But great public health leaders know what they can accomplish.
