COMMUNITY
Traditionally, a community has been thought of as a geographic area with specific boundaries-for example, a neighborhood, city, county, or state. However, in the context of community health, community is "a group of people who have common characteristics; communities can be defined by location, race, ethnicity, age, occupation, interest in particular problems or outcomes, or common bonds.3 Examples of communities include the people of the city of San Francisco (location), the Asian community (race), the Hispanic community (ethnicity), seniors (age), the business or the banking communities (occupation), the homeless (specific problem), those on welfare (particular outcome), or church members (common bond). A community may be as small as the group of people who live on a residence hall floor or as large as all of those who make up a nation.
a branch of medicine that is concerned with the health of the members of a community, municipality, or region. The emphasis in community medicine is on the early diagnosis of disease, the recognition of environmental and occupational hazards to good health, and the prevention of disease in the community.

HISTORY
As a professional movement, in USA, community medicine first appeared when some medical schools began to establish a new department (or rename an existing Dept of Preventive Medicine) to charge it with functions of defining the health problems of a community (in the vicinity of the college, or an adopted community) and to suggest solutions, maintain surveillance and monitor progress.
Many hospitals also established department of community medicine to bring together responsibility for the professional direction and coordination of a range of ambulatory programs in OPD and emergency, personal health, outreach satellite elements and other services. In UK, community medicine essentially includes Epidemiology and Medical Administration and has been seen as a successor to public health, providing information and advise on the health status and the services to the community and to the local Self Govt / community organizations, as well as performing other planning and management functions. Thus, in UK, the community medicine specialist is trained to function as Medical Officer of Health (MOH).

Community health includes both private and public (government) efforts of individuals, groups, and organizations to promote, protect, and preserve the health of those in the community. Public health is the sum of all governmental efforts to promote, protect, and preserve the people's health.
Community health activities are those that are aimed at protecting or improving the health of a population or community. Maintenance of accurate birth and death records, protection of the food and water supply, and participating in fund drives for voluntary health organizations such as the American Lung Association are examples of community health activities.
