Lessening Cancer Risks: Healthy Living, Preventive Measures, and Public Health Practice

Equitably addressing the environments where people are – where they live, learn, work, and play – requires added forethought, effort, and creativity. However, the effort from both a public health and clinical perspective is critical to ensuring healthier, stronger, more resilient individuals and communities. Making risk reduction integral to our public health approach will help to promote preventative care practices, improve environmental risk factors, and reduce cancer rates as well as contribute to overall health and well-being.
