Mac will have TONS of support for your chosen field- don’t be put off by the nomenclature.

You need a strong statistics background for public health- so you’ll take classes from the applied math department. You need a strong policy background for public health- so you’ll take political science and econ. You need to be able to write well, analyze complex and sometimes technical writing, and any history class will teach you that. You need to understand community structure and organizations, and sociology classes will teach you that. You need to understand how and why people do what they do and make the choices they make- even when it’s contrary to their own best interests and taking psychology classes will teach you that. You need to understand how to be a compelling public speaker and how to influence people- and virtually every single member of the faculty will help you learn that skill.

Congrats on a fantastic choice!!!
