Why We Chose It

We republish stories related to public health regularly. It’s because in the current culture wars regarding these issues, we seem to have forgotten where we came from. That is — a time when the consequences of putting our individual rights in front of the communities health where much more severe. We share these stories lest we forget and return to those times.
