Public Health Week: Celebrating the Power of Prevention

April is also Public Health Week, a time to reflect on the critical role that public health systems play in keeping communities healthy. Prevention is the foundation of public health, whether it’s through immunization programs, clean water initiatives, or promoting healthy eating.

- Health education: Providing people with the knowledge to make healthier choices.

- Preventive care: Early screenings, vaccination programs, and health coaching can save lives and reduce healthcare costs.

- Health policy: Advocating for equitable policies that provide universal access to care, mental health resources, and nutrition programs.

Public health is about collective care. When we work together, we can build healthier, more equitable communities.
