are not or cannot be provided by the private sector. Every day, millions
of Tennesseans are protected by thousands of public health measures --many
of them invisible-- in communities across our state. Unlike the personal
health care system which focuses on individuals, the Department of Health
focuses on the health of the state's entire population.
