Today marks the beginning of the American Public Health Association's 26th annual National Public Health Week. This year's theme is Building Bridges to Better Health.   APHA has fact sheets for each of the daily themes (in English and Spanish) and social media shareables you can easily post throughout the week. Check out the calendar of NPHW events and add your activities.

Also, don’t miss out on any APHA-sponsored events throughout the week from webinars  to physical activities. Highlights include:
