National Public Health Week 2023

National Public Health Week is April 3-9! The OHSU-PSU School of Public Health is excited to partner with the American Public Health Association (APHA) for this week of activities and awareness.

The theme this year is “Centering and Celebrating Cultures in Health”. Feeling like we belong, being a part of our communities and fostering cultural connections supports our health and the quality of our lives. We want everyone to know they can make their communities healthier, safer and stronger when we support and stay engaged with one another. As we adjust and adapt to new social norms, we’re focusing not just on what we can do as individuals, but what we can do as communities to protect, prioritize and influence the future of public health.

This year we’ve partnered with the Oregon Public Health Association, the Oregon Health Authority, and our SPH Student Leadership Council to bring you events that educate and highlight important public health issues. We hope you can join us for all of our events!
