Event Description 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 (NPHW) as a time to
recognize the contributions of public health and highlight issues that
are important to improving our nation. For nearly 20 years, APHA has
served as the organizer of NPHW. Every year, the Association develops a
national campaign to educate the public, policymakers and practitioners
about issues related to each year's theme. APHA creates new NPHW
materials each year that can be used during and after NPHW to raise
awareness about public health and prevention.
For more information on National Public Health Week, visit nphw.org. See below for the day's scheduled events and programs.
