This year's theme is “Centering and Celebrating Cultures in Health."
Feeling like we belong, being a part of our communities, and fostering cultural connections supports our health and the quality of our lives. As we celebrate NPHW, we want everyone to know they can make their communities healthier, safer, and stronger when we support and stay engaged with one another. As we adjust and adapt to new social norms, we’re focusing not just on what we can do as individuals, but what we can do as communities to protect, prioritize and influence the future of public health.
This NPHW, the goal is to look at how our cultural connections and intersections affect our health, well-being and the public health system that cares for us. We’re encouraging everyone to step in and do what they can to make our world a more equitable, safe, healthy, and just place.
Daily themes include Community, Violence Prevention, Reproductive & Sexual Health, Mental Health, Rural Health, Accessibility, and Food & Nutrition. Learn more about this year’s themes.
We also want to take this opportunity to express gratitude for our public health workforce in Las Animas and Huerfano Counties who run the public health initiatives, ensuring our community’s ability to live healthier lives.
We hope you’ll join LAHCDHD in celebrating NPHW and our public health workforce!
