The Invisible Shield

Using vivid character portraits, interviews, and archival elements, The Invisible Shield shows that public health is a progressive and revolutionary movement, whose successes have traditionally come from a diverse, cross-disciplinary coalition of dedicated public servants, all working together to improve the conditions of society.

Overview

The Invisible Shield highlights the critical importance of the public health system and the unsung heroes who work in it to keep us safe. The Invisible Shield Learning Guide offers questions to encourage critical thinking, discussion, and expanded understanding of public health. This is a powerful tool to get students excited about careers in public health and STEM fields.
