April 1-7, 2024 | Protecting, Connecting and Thriving: We Are All Public Health
During the first full week of April each year, the American Public Health Association (APHA) brings together communities across the United States to observe National Public Health Week as a time to recognize the contributions of public health and highlight issues that are important to improving our nation’s health. This year’s theme is “Protecting, Connecting and Thriving: We Are All Public Health” and SOPHE is proud to support and promote the effort.
As public health professionals, we should address and prevent the underlying causes of poor health and disease risk. We can use social determinants of health to understand how those causes are different for each person based on various factors like race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and financial situation.
The 2024 NPHW Daily Themes are:
- Monday: Civic Engagement
- Tuesday: Healthy Neighborhoods
- Wednesday: Climate Change
- Thursday: New Tools and Innovations
- Friday: Reproductive and Sexual Health
- Saturday: Emergency Preparedness
- Sunday: Future of Public Health
Join APHA, SOPHE and thousands of others to observe National Public Health Week 2024. You will become a member of a growing movement to create the healthiest nation in one generation.
We’ll celebrate the power of community, share strategies for successful partnerships and champion the role of a strong public health system.
It’s a time to recognize the contributions of public health and highlight issues that are important to improving our nation’s health. For over 25 years, APHA has served as the organizer of NPHW.
