I hope everyone had a Thanksgiving full of joy, gratitude, family and friends There is one more belated but important thank you. To everyone in the public health work force, thank you for your dedication to serving communities. November 25 was Public Health Thank You Day.
This year’s theme is “Public Health is a Lifesaver. Today and Every Day.” Annually on the Monday before Thanksgiving, Research America and other leading health organizations acknowledge those that dedicate their lives to protect health, prevent disease to improve quality of life with evidence-based and equitable solutions.
Public Health is the science focused on improving the health of populations. It is very broad and covers disease and injury prevention, promoting healthy lifestyles to identifying and managing disease outbreaks.
