National Public Health Week
Next Event: April 6, 2015 (Every day)
This campaign, organized by the American Public Health Association, takes place this year April 6 through April 12. APHA brings together communities across the United States to observe National Public Health Week as a time to raise awareness about public health and prevention.
As billions of dollars are spent on health care due to the rise in problems such as obesity and heart disease, getting the recommended amount of physical activity is critical to a healthy lifestyle.
