National Public Health Week aims to make Americans healthier
This is National Public Health Week, when public health organizations from across the U.S. turn the focus on practices and policies that will help reverse the downturn in U.S. life expectancy, which has declined for two years in a row.
“The public health community and workforce has faced uncertainty, shrinking budgets and new challenges this year, but I’m excited this week to highlight the inspiring perseverance of public health efforts in every community across the country” said Georges Benjamin, MD, executive director of the American Public Health Association (APHA).
