Celebrating the 29th annual National Public Health Week starting today, April 1! This year's theme is Protecting, Connecting, and Thriving: We Are All Public Health. Today's topic is Civic Engagement. As per the American Public Health Association, a recent analysis of civic engagement and state health outcomes from 1996 to 2020 showed that in states where people are more civically engaged and vote more, public health outcomes are better.

Happy Tuesday and Happy National Public Health Week. Day 2: Today’s daily theme is healthy neighborhoods. Our neighborhoods are the backbone of our communities, influencing our physical, mental and emotional well-being. I have been in this space for the last 18 years and I am amazed at the strides we are making. There’s lot more to do! In public health, our work is multifaceted, encompassing disease prevention, health promotion, policy development, and community engagement to improve the overall well-being of populations. Through research, education, and collaboration, we strive to address health disparities and promote equitable access to healthcare services. UNTIL WE ALL HAVE ACCESS!
