Did you know that all of us — no matter our backgrounds — benefit from public health every day? 

Public health in Nebraska is led by people you know — our friends, family and neighbors. Whether it’s through teaching wellness, helping people connect to care, responding to disease outbreaks, or many things in between, public health plays a big role in all our lives. 

Together, we are building a healthier Nebraska.
