All Milestones

Milestones groups the discoveries, campaigns, publications and turning points that marked progress or change in public health thinking and practice, such as the eradication of a disease, a landmark study or the adoption of a major dietary or fitness guideline. Belongs here: a dated event with a documented outcome, tied to the branch, figures and institutions involved. Does not belong here: the ongoing program or practice a milestone gave rise to, filed under Public Health Programs or Practices, or the underlying concept a milestone established, filed under Concepts.
