The first week of April marks public health week. This year’s theme is For science. For action. For health. Most of us who work in the health care field deal with clinical care – those important interactions that help each of us remain healthy and deal with problems when they come up. Public health focuses on a whole population and often, if public health is working, most people won’t notice. We can breathe. We can drink water and eat food without getting sick. We can access health care. Our communities help us get and stay healthy.
The American Public Health Association hosts events, webinars, and public health challenges throughout the week – find more information here. This year, each day has a theme:
So join your public health community to celebrate how far we’ve come, think about the link between clinical care and public health, and help us all work to create a heathier Washington and healthier United States.
