This is Public Health Video

Catchy 3-minute video which points to the many facets of public health. 

"This video was created for the THIS IS PUBLIC HEALTH campaign for the Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH). The campaign consists of 40,000 stickers, 17 schools and a simple microsite that combines a Flickr group with Google Maps."  Check it out at:
