April 3- 9, 2023 has been designated as National Public Health Week, and this year’s theme is “Centering and Celebrating Cultures in Health.” The annual celebration began in 1995 and is sponsored by the American Public Health Association. Throughout the week attention is paid to the efforts of public health officials who are dedicated to improving the public’s health.
During the week, we will celebrate the power of cultural humility and prevention, advocate for healthy and fair policies, share strategies for increasing equity and champion the role of a strong public health system.
