Next week we recognize National Public Health Week! (April 1-7th) Community Health Workers are trusted front line public health workers doing the everyday work of making a difference in communities where they serve. Emphasizing the importance of community support and advocacy for public health is crucial for fostering mental and physical well-being. As part of next week's initiative, I am encouraging people to take action and make a difference in their communities, and also to think about your organization and how they can further support this important week. The theme, "Protecting, Connecting, and Thriving: We Are All Public Health." Encapsulates the essence of collective responsibility and solidarity in promoting well-being. By emphasizing collaboration and inclusivity, we can work together to build safe, interconnected, and healthy communities where everyone can thrive. Let's unite our efforts to create environments that support the health and happiness of all individuals, regardless of background or circumstance. Together, we can make a lasting impact on public health and create a better future for generations to come. #chwaccessact #chws #publichealth #communityhealth #healthequity #healthforall #healthpolicy #nachw APHA Black Caucus of Health Workers
