The Faces of Public Health in New Jersey

This site is meant to inspire others to join the field of public health. These Faces of Public Health in New Jersey are the stories of those who have chosen to work or volunteer in public health. Our hope is to inspire others to pick up the torch of public health and help make the world a better place. People, who work in public health, do not do it for the money, but rather to help other people. It is one of the most rewarding, gratifying and worthwhile professions. This web-site was inspired by the book The Faces of Public Health published by Pfizer Inc. November 2004 which tells of the every day people in public health helping to touch peoples lives through public health.
