The first acknowledged was Lemuel Shattuck of New York City in the early 1900s along with the nurse Dorothea Dix. Other women, also nurses, but also anarchists, participated. Today, the New York dept. of Public Health is the leader in public health and has, among other things, developed many vaccines for the prevention of diseases like influenza. Its first triumph was in the control of tuberculosis.

Should one definitely be premed if they want to go into public health or is studying public health at an undergrad level and taking some sciencemath good enough if your major is in the liberal arts?

I guess the real answer is it depends what you want to do in public health. No, you do not need to take the premed track if you would like to be a public health professional. In fact, you do not need any of the premed science requirements to get in to most MPH programs. Figure out what in public health you would like to do first (epidemiology, global health, health promotion, health policy, etc).
