Delta Omega - Honorary Society in Public Health

OVERVIEW Membership Contact Us Overview Founded in 1924, Delta Omega is the honorary society for graduate studies in public health. It celebrates excellent academic achievement, devotion to public health principles and outstanding service in public health. Since Delta Omega's establishment in 1924, the meaning and scope of public health has broadened tremendously. While it is still seriously concerned with problems of environmental sanitation and communicable disease control, public health action has come to embrace all aspects of health and disease in populations. These include the planning, organization, and support of health promotion, disease prevention, and medical care. Basic to modern public health are the social sciences as well as the natural sciences--both in the United States and internationally. The Graduate School of Public Health at SDSU maintains it's own local Delta Omega chapter, which is one chapter in the larger National Delta Omega Organization.
