National Public Health Week 2016
Zika virus. The lead crisis in Flint, Michigan. Soaring rates of childhood obesity. Climate change.
These are just some of the headlines we encounter every day that remind us of how critical a robust and resilient public health infrastructure is for our future.
This week is National Public Health Week 2016 (http://www.nphw.org/). An initiative of the American Public Health Association (http://www.apha.org/), National Public Health Week was established to “as a time to recognize the contributions of public health and highlight issues that are important to improving our nation.”
In honor of National Public Health Week, the Hirsh library would like to highlight its resources that help support public health. The Hirsh library is also presenting a Public Health Tools Workshop that will introduce you to resources to help you with public and community health-related research, including Healthy People 2020, APHA Public Health Policy Database and TRoPHI (Trials Register of Promoting Health Interventions).
We hope that you will attend the workshop or check out our public health research guides. After all, public health is your health!
