#PublicHealth Matters ALL the time to EVERYONE – Public Health Thank You Day #PHTYD19

Public Health Thank You Day is November 25, 2019. #PHTYD10 is a time to recognize public health professionals who work tirelessly every day to protect the health of all people and all communities. Public health professionals are dedicated to reducing infant mortality, developing and distributing vaccines, tracking infectious outbreaks, curbing antimicrobial resistance, preparing us for natural disasters and so much more.

“The public health workforce is dedicated to assuring our health and the health of our communities. From protecting against disease and preventing injury to addressing the determinants that influence our health, public health professionals work tirelessly with too little recognition for their efforts. Here at APHA, we are proud of and grateful for their service and honored to work alongside them in creating the healthiest nation in one generation,” said Georges Benjamin, M.D., executive director of the American Public Health Association (APHA).
