Public Health

National Public Health Week

First and foremost, THANK YOU to all of the public health workers who are on the front lines working with patients in the health care field every day. Right now, people are doing everything they can to help those in need.

NPHW shines a light on the work that people in the public health industry do every day and how it impacts so many lives. Each day of this week had a different theme and topic. Including mental health, violence prevention, environmental health, healthy housing, and economics. 

More in-depth information about these themes can be found on the National Public Health Week website here: http://www.nphw.org/nphw-2020

Public Health encompasses a wide variety of fields and its aim is to help reduce infectious diseases, combat chronic disease and address the numerous risk factors affecting our communities.
