Partnership for Public Health celebrates National Public Health Week April 4–10

LACONIA — The Partnership for Public Health invites the public to celebrate National Public Health Week, April 4 – April 10 to take the time to celebrate the important role that public health plays in the wellbeing of where we are, physically, mentally, and societally.

Sometimes it’s hard to figure out where to start in your journey to wellbeing. This week helps create and communicate the resources that are available in our own community and show some of the work that is already being done. What’s more, it offers well-researched perspectives into equitable, inclusive public health.

The Partnership for Public Health will be recognizing the work of our public health partners and looking at the intersections of our lives that affect our health and wellbeing. We’re encouraging everyone — public health professionals, students, elected leaders and the general public — to step in and do what they can to make our world a more equitable, safe, healthy and just place.

The Partnership for Public Health Team has events lined up this week to highlight the role that public health plays in our lives, including a community-clean up activity and non-perishable food drive on April 6 from 3 -5 p.m. at Opechee Park, and a #PublicHealthIsWhereYouAre campaign to share information on health initiatives in the region.
