Public health refers to the collective actions a society enacts to ensure living conditions contribute to positive health outcomes. Public health nurses provide care to communities and populations to achieve these positive health outcomes.

The CDC explains the role of public health professionals as preventative, trying to avoid health issues at a population level before they happen, as well as promoting health care equity and accessibiblity. In this way, developments in health care can be influenced early on and policies can be implemented that improve health care for communities on a large scale.
