CARTHAGE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Public Health Association (TPHA) announces its annual celebration of National Public Health Week to be observed across the state April 2-8, 2018. National Public Health Week brings individuals and communities across Tennessee together to celebrate the work and dedication of public health professionals and volunteers and highlight issues that are important to improving the health of our state and nation. This year’s National Public Health Week theme, “Healthiest Nation 2030 Changing Our Future Together,” is a call to make the United States the healthiest nation in one generation by 2030.
“All Tennesseans deserve to live a long and healthy life. To make our state healthier we must focus on areas including behavioral health, communicable diseases, environmental health, injury and violence prevention, and ensuring the right to health,” said Tennessee Public Health Association Executive Director Kim Harrell. “Let’s start new conversations and be advocates for positive change. If Tennesseans work together where we live, work, and play, we can make sure our state leads the way to a healthier nation in one generation.”
Join TPHA as we celebrate public health heroes in communities across the state by awarding the 8th Annual Visionary Awards and partner with college students to see public health through their eyes in the 5th Annual Student Video Challenge as part of this year’s National Public Health Week.
The Tennessee Public Health Association and our partners applaud the efforts across our state, from the small rural areas to the large metropolitan cities, which create healthier Tennessee children, families, and communities! Learn more about TPHA at www.tnpublichealth.info/index.php?id=1.
