The Friday Five – National Public Health Week

March 31, 2017 Posted by Annmarie Budniak Celebrations - Awareness, HIT Feed

Follow and join the conversation with #NPHW, #NPHWChat and #1BillionSteps.

Each year during the first full week of April, the American Public Health Association (@PublicHealth) 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. This week’s Friday Five focuses on this year’s campaign – Healthiest Nation 2030 and what you can do to become part of the growing movement to create the healthiest nation in one generation. This year National Public Health Week takes place April 3 – 9. [tweet_dis excerpt=”Join APHA for National Public Health Week #NPHW 4/3 @PublicHealth @NPHW”]Tweet This[/tweet_dis]

Join Generation Public Health and help create change!
Studies show that even wealthy, highly educated Americans with access to quality care suffer a health disadvantage to peers in other high-income countries. The US ranks 34th in life expectancy and where you live, your income, education, race and access to health care mean as much as a 15-year difference in how long you will live. For all of these reasons and more APHA created Generation Public Health, a national movement of people, communities and organizations working to ensure conditions where everyone has the opportunity to be healthy. Find out more about the movement and join today!

National Public Health Week 2017 Twitter Chat
Save the date – Wednesday, April 5 at 2 pm EDT! APHA will host its seventh annual NPHW Twitter Chat and is hoping to reach more people than ever. Last year the chat hosted 1,100 participants and brought the importance of public health to more than 88 million users! RSVP now and follow @NPHW to learn more about this year’s Twitter Chat. Use the official hashtag, #NPHWchat, in your tweets so users can easily search for what you and others are saying during the event.

Are you excited about our Twitter chat on April 5 at 2 p.m.? RSVP: https://t.co/ijTYpKBllK #NPHWChat #HealthiestNation2030 pic.twitter.com/NQ6SHwJ7J3

Advocacy for Public Health
These days many of us are realizing we need to do our civic duty and participate more in local, state, and national government if we want to keep the rights and freedoms previous generations have fought so hard to get. APHA, in coordination with its members and state and regional Affiliates, works with key decision-makers to shape public policy to address today’s ongoing public health concerns. If public health is important to, maybe even a passion of yours, then what better place to start advocating. APHA welcomes your support and provides numerous ways you can become involved to improve the state of public health today.
