What is public health? Wanna find out? Students in the USF Intro to Public Health class have chosen strategic areas in the Tampa Bay community that they feel represent public health in action. This blog is dedicated to explaining, understanding, and discussing what their interpretations of exactly what the heck is.... public health?!

Bench Rest
Our group chose to place our
sticker on a Campus Lodge bench located on the corner of Livingston Ave and
Bearss Ave because the bench highlights many issues in Public Health. For
example, the bench promotes health through encouraging exercise. After a long
walk or bike ride, the bench allows the individual to take a breather, lowering
chances of passing out from exhaustion. It
makes a terrific place for morning joggers from the various apartment complexes
in the area to rest if needed during their workout. In addition, many of those that
have cars and decide to take the bus do not have to drive to campus. Since this
intersection is very close to the USF campus it also encourages people to walk
to campus or take the bus instead of driving gas guzzling cars. As a result,
less harmful fumes are let into the air that we breathe. This is important
because in the society we live today there are all sorts of health issues that
are on the rise partly due to the lack of psychical activity including obesity
and heart disease. Not to mention it promotes cleaner, healthier air by being conveniently
located next to a bus stop.
