National Public Health Week

Join the American Public Health Association (APHA) in celebrating

National Public Health Week, April 6-12, 2026!

Ready. Set. Action! is this year’s theme. As we celebrate, take a moment to recognize how public health has improved our daily lives, safeguarded our families, expanded our life spans, and strengthened our communities. This week is also a chance to honor the public health workers who show up for us every day — and to advocate for policies and practices that promote good health for all.

Join us as we dig into what’s driving the problem of misinformation in public health — and what we can do about it. We will explore practical, evidence-based strategies for cutting through the noise, strengthening clear and transparent communication and helping communities spot credible information. Leading experts will share lessons from recent successes, the importance of cross-sector partnerships and how to prepare today’s workforce to respond effectively in real time.
