Monday, April 1, 2013 Today marks the beginning of National
Public Health Week (NPHW). Since 1995, communities across the
United States have designated the first week of April as a time
to recognize the contributions of public health and highlight
issues that are important to improving our nation. This year's
theme is "Public Health is ROI: Save Lives, Save Money." The
2013 NPHW theme was developed to highlight the value of
prevention and the importance of well-supported public health
systems in preventing disease, saving lives and curbing health
care spending. Visit the National Public Health Week website to
check out a calendar of events and see how you can get involved.
