About NPHW
During the first full week of April, The Department of Public Health participates in National Public Health Week (NPHW). NPHW is a time to recognize the contributions of public health and highlight important issues for our nation’s health. Each year the American Public Health Association develops a national campaign. The Department of Public Health hosts a variety of activities and highlights each of the daily themes on our social media each year.
Daily Themes
Each of the daily themes, established each year by APHA, are featured on the department Instagram account (baylorpublichealth). Not only was there great information related to each theme, but these posts featured students, faculty, and local organizations who are working in these areas. The themes this year were:
- Civic Engagement
- Healthy Neighborhoods
- Climate Change
- New Tools and Innovations
- Reproductive and Sexual Health
- Emergency Preparedness
- Future of Public Health
