National Health Education Week - October 21-25, 2019
Education is the key to healthy communities. National Health Education Week (NHEW) promotes health education and the role it plays in keeping us strong. It's observed the third week of every October. The Society for Public Health Education co-sponsors the week along with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Why National Health Education Week is Important
1. Education is best
The more we know about our health the better we can take care of ourselves. National Health Education Week promotes deeper understanding of our health issues - and encourages us to rely on health care educators to stay informed about how to maintain good health.
2. Educators are important
National Health Education Week reminds us of the importance of health care educators and the contribution they make to the health of our communities. Health care educators share critical knowledge that can help us live better lives.
3. Opportunities for action
National Health Education Week provides opportunities for citizens to get involved in promoting good health. Each day of the week focuses on a different theme, such as gun violence, or the impact of inequality on individual health. The week offers events and other opportunities for involvement.
