Prepare for this Discussion by reviewing the list of Essential Services in Table 2-1 (pages 43–48) and identify three roles within public health that meet any these essentials. These roles should be examples of actual jobs you know about (or find through a search) either in your community or at the state or federal level.
What are three roles within public health that fulfill any of the essential services of public health? In what specific ways are the individuals working in those roles fulfilling the essential services?

Excerpt from Chapter 1, “Defining Public Health: Historical and Contemporary Developments” (pages 14–3 2)
This section of Chapter 1 discusses the scope of public health practice in the early 21st century. It reviews key concepts of socioeconomic and other factors of health and the importance of population-based prevention strategies in addressing today’s public health needs.
Chapter 2, “A Framework for Public Health Administration and Practice”
As this country faces a critical need for healthcare reform, it is more important than ever that public health professionals keep in mind the essential services that public health must provide. Chapter 2 examines this taxomony of services. It also describes the public health infrastructure—that is, the basic support for the delivery of public health activities—and explains why governmental agencies are moving in the direction of assurance and away from delivery of personal services.
Chapter 10, “Leadership for Public Health”
This chapter discusses several leadership theories and applications in public health, including systems thinking. Although you will have a course later in the program focusing on leadership, it is important to distinguish at this point the differences between management and leadership, and also to gain an appreciation of the public health system from a leader’s perspective. This chapter will help you better understand these topics.
