As the 2026 National Public Health Week comes to a close, we’re reminded that strong public health systems depend on the support of the communities they serve. From prevention programs to emergency response, public health makes a difference every day. By working together, we can build healthier, safer communities for everyone.

Public health works—because we all play a part.
