AB In  1988,  the  Institute  of  Medicine  (IOM)  released  The  Future  of  Public  Health,1  a  seminal  report  that  found  the  national  public  health  infrastructure  to  be  in  disarray.  The  IOM  committee  defined  the  mission  of  public  health  as  fulfilling  society's  interest  in  assuring  conditions  in  which  people  can  be  healthy.  It  then  developed  clear  statements  about  the  role  of  government  in  three  core  public  health  functions:  assessing  health  status,  developing  policy,  and  assuring  that  necessary  services  are  provided.  Finally,  the  committee  made  specific  recommendations  for  responsibility  and  action  at  the  national,  state,  and  local  levels  to  achieve  the  core  functions.
