The world has changed. Have we?

Five years ago, when this podcast started, a global pandemic forced us to ask hard questions about public health. It was in the headlines. It was in our homes. It changed the way we lived, worked, and cared for one another. A pandemic reshaped our lives, and public health became front-page news. Then… silence.

But public health never stops. And now, neither do we.

Now, it’s 2025—and we’re in a whole new era.

I’m Dr. Kee Chan, a public health professor, researcher, and advocate, and I’m here to make sense of it all.

AI is transforming medicine.

Climate disasters are disrupting communities.

A mental health crisis is hitting young people harder than ever.

New policies are shaping access to care—and your health could be at risk.

This isn’t just another health podcast.

Each episode, I bring you real talk, expert insights, and practical ways to protect yourself, your family, and your community. This is What is Public Health?—the show that breaks down the science, the policies, and the population health challenges that impact YOU every day.

This podcast is different because we don’t just talk about problems—we talk about solutions.

Join me, Dr. Kee Chan, as we decode the science, unpack the policies, and empower you to be part of the solution. Because public health isn’t just a profession—it’s a collective force that shapes our lives. And together, we rise.
