The Friday Five – National Public Health Week
Follow and join the conversation with #NPHW and #NPHWChat.
The American Public Health Association (@PublicHealth) brings together communities across the United States to observe National Public Health Week (@NPHW) as a time to recognize the contributions of public health and highlight issues that are important to improving our nation’s health. While this year marks the 25th anniversary of NPHW, COVID-19 has stolen the spotlight and our Friday Five highlights the adjustments that have been made to the event and how we can still participate next week.
Ideas for Celebrating While Respecting the Need for Social Distancing.
COVID-19 has thrown a curveball at National Public Health Week. Events have been postponed, canceled or modified. Yet everyone’s mind is on public health, and there are still lots of ways to celebrate NPHW while maintaining social distance and keeping our communities healthier.
