Revisiting the IOM Reports and Envisioning a Promising Future for Public Health
Two public health reports from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine published in 1988 and 2003 by the Institute of Medicine continue to resonate. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for a robust and adequately funded public health system that has political and public support as well as strong connections to health care and other sectors. However, a spate of recent assessments of the nation’s public health infrastru…
Spatial Justice and Implications for US Health Care
The recognition that where people live matters to their health has deep roots, highlighted in the works of Hippocrates, W. E. B. Du Bois, and in contemporary research on environmental and placebased factors that shape health. Although health systems have come to accept their role in helping change community conditions in support of health, their complex institutional, financial, and sociopolitical considerations can prevent positive change or lea…

Beginning in 1979, the Healthy People initiative, led by the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), has set health promotion and disease prevention objectives and targets every decade in an effort to engage a broad constituency in achieving health gains for the nation. A subset of objectives-the Leading Health Indicators (LHIs)-are intended to sharply focus attention on the highest priorities. At the request of DHHS, the National Acad…

Catapulting the Chasm: Or How to Avoid Wasting a Perfectly Good Fiscal Disaster
The nation once again is on the precipice of financial catastrophe, but have we overlooked public health? Juxtaposed against one another, the comparison of health care with public health—one largely overutilized, expensive, and underperforming, the other responsible for eradicating diseases and providing safe food and water—cries out for thoughtful fiscal recalibration. We have examined the recent Institute of Medicine report on public health fin…
