National Public Health Week 2019

This week has been National Public Health Week. This week is meant to bring together communities across the US to highlight the contributions of public health professionals and all of the amazing things they are doing to improve health outcomes in our neighborhoods. This week happens every year during the first full week of April and has a different day of focus for each day of the week. 

This year, the following themes will happen on each day:

Monday: Healthy Communities
Tuesday: Violence Prevention
Wednesday: Rural Health
Thursday: Technology & Public Health
Friday: Climate Change
Saturday & Sunday: Global Health

Any participation is welcome from people from all professions and walks of life. Individuals are encouraged to share helpful information and promote healthy lifestyles for all. If you were unable to participate in this weeks activities, you and your peers can still participate at a later date. Showing support for public health never goes out of style! The ultimate goal is for us to continue to strive to be the "healthiest nation in one generation!"
