It is widely recognized that the health of individuals and communities is determined by the interaction of physical, mental, social, and spiritual factors. Public health leaders can find precedent for the resulting holistic strategies in the collaboration with religious structures that characterized the early years of public health. The modern context is more pluralistic, democratic, and complex in terms of its institutional array of partners.
人们普遍认识到，个人和社区的健康取决于身体、心理、社会和精神因素的相互作用。公共卫生领导者可以在与宗教机构的合作中找到这种整体策略的先例，这种合作是早期公共卫生的特点。就其合作伙伴的机构排列而言，现代背景更加多元化、民主和复杂。
