HUNTINGTON, West Virginia-National Public Health Week, April 6, 2015 – April 12th 2015
This year, National Public Health Week is April 6th – April 12th and the theme is “Healthiest Nation 2030.” The U.S. is far from the healthiest nation in the world, but we can help turn it around. Together individuals, families and communities are committed to making the U.S. the healthiest nation by 2030.
The Cabell-Huntington Health Department will be participating in this initiative. This week is a great opportunity for community members to come out and see how the Cabell-Huntington Health Department impacts every citizen of the Cabell-Huntington area on a daily basis. The health department will be out in the community displaying information about public health services available.
