ɪᴛ'ꜱ ᴘᴜʙʟɪᴄ ʜᴇᴀʟᴛʜ ᴡᴇᴇᴋ! 🥳
This year’s National Public Health Week theme, “Ready. Set. Action!” highlights how public health improves daily life, safeguards families, expands life expectancy, and strengthens communities.
From disease prevention and health education to emergency preparedness, environmental health, maternal and child health, and chronic disease prevention, public health touches the lives of North Dakotans every day.
National Public Health Week is also a time to recognize and thank the public health professionals who work every day to promote health, prevent disease, and respond to the needs of their communities. Our work often happens behind the scenes, but its impact is seen in safer communities, healthier families, and stronger systems of support.
Community members of all ages and abilities are encouraged to participate in Public Health Week activities and to take time this week to recognize the value of public health in North Dakota.
