National Public Health Week (NPHW) recognizes and celebrates public health professionals nationwide. April 1-7, 2024, marks the 29th NPHW organized by the American Public Health Association (APHA). This year’s theme is “Protecting, Connecting, and Thriving: We are All Public Health.”
We will join a nationwide celebration of the incredible work of public health professionals. We are proud to be part of this vital field, working to keep our region healthy and safe.
Why Public Health Matters
Public health is often the silent guardian, working tirelessly behind the scenes to prevent disease outbreaks, promote healthy behaviors, and ensure clean water, air, and food. It’s why you can drink tap water and eat fresh food without worry; the system helps ensure safe spaces and immunizations at schools, and the network monitors and responds to potential health threats.
