What is public health?
On a yarrow plant, each of the individual six-petaled flowers grow in tight clumps that radiate out and around the main stem. This alignment provides balance and protection to the individual flowers. These individual flowers clump together, as a community. Similarly, humans grow best when they live in communities and environments that promote balance and protection for each person.
When it comes to living a balanced and healthy life, an individual's health-influencing decisions are based largely on their environment. When our environment is healthy - healthy schools, parks, clinics, homes, food, and everything else that surrounds our lives - it is possible to make healthy choices that lead to healthier lives.
That is the essence of public health. Yarrow is here to empower public health.
Yarrow has experience working with a wide variety of health and public health programming, including emergency medicine, nutrition, maternal and child health, chronic disease, addiction, health equity, and direct healthcare services.
