    How do environmental health, community health, and your personal health intersect?

    The influence of location on health is clear. The best way to reduce the worldwide burden of disease may be to provide individuals with ready access to clean water, adequate nutrition, and rudimentary sanitation, yet the availability of these “big three” basic needs differs greatly from place to place and the first two are clearly an environmental factor
