 Conceptualizing Population Health

Many people take health care and their health as something for granted and keep it more

confidential. To make citizens get assured of their health is something that health officers think

much beyond individual health and make it something that cares much of the whole country.

These facts require knowledge from public health. It was noted by scholars after intense research

and the making of conclusions that the United States of America's health status is completely

diverse and does not fit into the investments that the nation has made. The process of ensuring

the nation gets the best healthcare has been found with different hurdles and challenges such as

systematic problems and societal influence and norms. With such issues at hand, the state health

committee has held several meetings to develop policies that can help in this kind of situation.

Our understanding that giving an address to health issues from a public health perspective

is the best approach to care for American citizens well. The best is to address the related aspects

of the economy that directly affect the country's citizens and review the country's public health

sector. Not leaving at that point, the country's political wing must again offer a helping hand to

spearhead these agendas relating to public health? The United States public health schedule will

be on other level hence dedicated services to the citizens.

On the other hand, for these suggestions to be implemented, we must have some models

that will direct the implementation of the plans. A public health model is a biological tool that

aims to either prevent or erase a certain disease or illness and point out its risks. Three main

models are well known and hence can direct the implementations of the above policies made

(Pontzer, Wood, and Raichlen, 2018). They are the biomedical health model, existential model, and
psychosomatic models of public health. These three models have a close relationship but defer at

some point in representing diseases or illness.
