National Public Health Week
April 6 - 12, 2015
Right now, the U.S. spends MORE and gets LESS when it
comes to health care and public health outcomes. This is
the defining challenge of our generation – a challenge that
we, the public health community, are uniquely positioned
to help overcome.
That’s why, during National Public Health Week 2015, the
public health community is rallying around a goal of making
the U.S. the Healthiest Nation in One Generation — by
2030.
There are many factors that influence health and health
behaviors. Access to clean water, tobacco-free environments, vaccines, and affordable health care are obvious
factors related to the health of a community. However, city planning, high school graduation rates, and transportation options are also contributors to the health of the public., and must be included in any plan to improve the nation’s health status.
Please visit NPHW.org to learn more about local, regional, and national efforts to make the United States the healthiest nation by the year 2030.
