Many people forget that each of us plays a role in public health, and we should do our best to improve it as much as we can.

Kathryn Carson B.S. in Public Health

I knew I wanted to go into healthcare and help people--just not bedside. After researching I chose public health, because I was able to go into healthcare without doing direct patient care.
