Thanks again. Do you have any idea how to translate Health Care as refering to the prevention, treatment, and management of illness and the preservation of mental and physical well-being through the services offered by the medical and allied health professions.

Some options:

servicios médicos
atenciòn a la salud
asistencia sanitaria
asistencia médica

En este caso, el término de James es el más adecuado:

...mejorar la salud pública

Thanks James,
I was refering to the term as the science and practice of protecting and improving the health of a community, as by preventive medicine, health education, control of communicable diseases, application of sanitary measures, and monitoring of environmental hazards.
If you have any other ideas...

Without giving context, you won't get very good answers, but the simple answer is Salud Pública.
