According to the National Public Health Week Public health is more than just health care. It's the steps we take to make sure our neighborhoods and environment are free from pollution. It's making sure our food and water are safe to eat and drink. It's also the relationships we foster in our communities. We're all interconnected. When we all come together to support public health, all of us — individuals, families, communities and the public health field — can achieve the goals of public health. #QualityofLifeHomeCarellc #HomeCare #getpaidtotakecareofloveones #philadelphiahomecare #NationalPublicHealthWeek #PublicHealth #HealthPromotion #CommunityHealth #Prevention

When discussing Nemours Children's Health, the question often arises: What does it mean when you say Nemours is focused on going 'Well Beyond Medicine'? It's more than just a tagline. It reflects our steadfast commitment to positively impact the 80% of what affects children's health outside a hospital or doctor's office. Research underscores the impact of diverse factors on children's well-being, from community influences to housing and food security. Comprehensive support is essential as sectors like education and housing often face funding gaps. Community organizations and policymakers' involvement is vital in addressing disparities. Our collaboration with the Whole Child Health Alliance exemplifies this dedication as we work together to advance policy recommendations, ensuring every child thrives.
