2013 National Public Health Week

Dear Members and Friends

The first full week of April is designated as National Public Health Week (NPHW). The American Public Health Association sponsors the week. This year's theme is "Public Health is ROI: Save Lives, Save Money." 

 

 

Here are three ways you can get involved.

• Attend an event. APHA has a great listing of NPHW events
• Join the APHA Twitter chat on Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 2 p.m. EDT. Follow the Hashtag: #NPHWchat
• Take an advocacy action to support public health. Send a message to your member of Congress in support of public health

Stay Involved

• Join the MWPHA Health Disparities Committee in support of their activities at Stoddert Terrace. They meet every 3rd Wednesday and go out to the community every 3rd Saturday.
• Stay tuned for our next professional development event "Advocacy vs. Lobby: What's the Difference."
• Save the date for the MWPHA and MdPHA Joint Annual Meeting on September 19, 2013
• Become a member of MWPHA.

As always we welcome your suggestion to improve MWPHA.

Thank you,

Aisha L. Moore
MWPHA President
