Public Health Week 2022

The Department of Public Health invites the community to celebrate National Public Health Week (NPHW). This year’s theme is “Public Health is Where You Are.” Celebrates what we know is true: The places where we are, physically, mentally and societally, affect our health and our lives. As we celebrate the 27th NPHW, April 4-10, we want everyone to know they can make their communities healthier and safer for all. And as we move slowly back toward gathering in person, we’re focusing not just on what we can do as individuals, but what we can do as communities to protect and prioritize public health.
