This Week in Public Health History: Fighting Disease Before It Spreads

Quarantine and disease prevention efforts became core public health functions in the late 1800s. Recurrent outbreaks of cholera, yellow fever, typhoid fever, typhus, and smallpox swept through port and manufacturing cities.

Disease control shifted from reacting to outbreaks to prevention, and public health strategies helped protect communities from infectious diseases long before modern medicine.

He also helped found the American Public Health Association.
