Given the cross-cutting importance of public health issues and ideas, a section devoted solely to public health should be established on the Huffington Post. To be sure, the Huffington Post does provide Global Health and Public Health listings of articles placed in other sections, but whether or not a relevant article makes it on these listings is hit or miss. This is due to the fact that it is rarely possible to separate constituent threads when discussing a matter of public health importance. The Impact section is also a place with a readership potentially interested in matters of public health. However, as an epidemiologist and someone who wishes to bring attention to matters of public health importance, much of what I write does not totally fit into any one of the existing sections of the Huffington Post.
