National Public Health Week 2023
Mar 31, 2023
It’s National Public Health Week!
National Public Health Week (NPHW) was established in 1995 by the American Public Health Association to educate the public, policymakers and public health professionals about issues important to improving the public’s health. But what is public health?
Public health is the science of protecting and improving the health of communities.
This week’s theme is “Centering and Celebrating Cultures in Health .” Connection to our community and culture impact our health and well-being. That is why, fostering community connection can make our communities healthier, stronger and safer!
Celebrate NPHW!
