National Public Health Week 2013

Jefferson County Public Health (JCPH) is proud to be a part of National Public Health Week (NPHW), celebrated each year during the first full week of April. April 1-7, 2013.

We all have a role in supporting a strong public health system and in putting prevention to work in our lives. This year’s theme as declared by the American Public Health Association is Public Health is ROI, Saves Lives, Saves Money. The return on investment on the preventive services, programs and policy initiatives provided by public health departments across the nation is cause for celebration. View the APHA website for more information and daily themes. Jefferson County Public Health celebrates public health week with the announcement and celebration of the 2012 Public Health Champions of the Year. Check our web page for the announcement and other important news items. We will also include the Champions in our April newsletter.
