PPAP 1002-Health Careers Exploration: Healthcare Administration/Public Health

Public health promotes and protects the health of people and the communities where they live, learn, work and play. While a doctor treats people who are sick, those of us working in public health try to prevent people from getting sick or injured in the first place. We also promote wellness by encouraging healthy behaviors.

Healthcare administration is the management of all the non-clinical functions involved in operating a healthcare facility, from day-to-day operations to staffing to budgeting and finance to long-term strategic planning to ensure the success of the healthcare provider or system. You can think of healthcare administration as the process of managing and handling every aspect of the business side of delivering healthcare services. healthcareadministrationedu.org
