April 7-13, 2025 | It Starts Here
During the first full week of April each year, the American Public Health Association (APHA) unites communities nationwide to celebrate National Public Health Week, recognizing public health contributions and addressing key health issues. This year’s theme is “It Starts Here” and SOPHE is proud to support and promote the effort.
Public health starts with each of us making a difference in our homes and communities. It’s how the places we live, work and play affect our well-being. It’s the way we are all stronger—and healthier—together through the efforts of organizations like the American Public Health Association and others that advocate for healthy communities. Join us for the 30th anniversary of National Public Health Week to celebrate successes, look ahead to upcoming challenges and create a vision for the future. Explore APHA’s resources, events and other ways to get involved during National Public Health Week, because public health is all of us—and it starts here.
