The Mobile County Health Department is celebrating National Public Health Week today through April 12 with this year’s theme being “Ready. Set. Action!” During this week of recognition, we honor how public health touches our lives every day — keeping families safe, helping us live longer, and strengthening the communities we share.
“Because of public health, most parents today have never had to fear polio the way previous generations did,” said Dr. Kevin Michaels, Health Officer for Mobile County. “That’s the power of vaccination and sustained community action.”
