National Public Health Week 2010
Sponsored by the American Public Health Association, the theme for this year's National Public Health Week is "A Healthier America: One Community at a Time." The NPHW toolkit and planning materials are now available online at http://www.nphw.org/nphw10/layout_pg_facts_toolkit.htm. The toolkit includes fact sheets, media outreach materials, suggested community events, legislative information, resources, and activities for neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, and families to use throughout NPHW.
Each day of the week will focus on a different aspect of the theme:
- Monday: A Healthier America and YOU - The impact your health has on your community.
- Tuesday: Your Community - The impact your community’s health has on the nation.
- Wednesday: Your School - How education and school policies can improve students’ health.
- Thursday: Your Workplace - How healthy employees and healthy businesses can effect real change.
- Friday: Your Nation - How the nation's health is dependent on all individuals and communities.
Additionally, Friday, April 9 will be National Public Health Student Day. Join students from around the nation as they help educate their campus and local communities about what constitutes a healthier America.
