X-WR-CALDESC:During the first full week of April each year\, APHA brings to
 gether communities across the United States to observe National Public Hea
 lth Week as a time to recognize the contributions of public health and hig
 hlight issues that are important to improving our nation's health. For ove
 r 20 years\, APHA has served as the organizer of NPHW. Every year\, the As
 sociation develops a national campaign to educate the public\, policymaker
 s and practitioners about issues related to each year's theme. APHA create
 s new NPHW materials each year that can be used during and after NPHW to r
 aise awareness about public health and prevention.\n\nSince the Affordable
  Care Act became law\, the U.S. uninsured rate has dropped to record lows.
  But continued targeted attempts to dismantle the law include the recent r
 epeal of the individual mandate. Our social safety net programs are being 
 threatened with cuts and for the second year in a row\, life expectancy in
  the United States has dropped.\n\nTo ensure everyone has a chance at a lo
 ng and healthy life\, we must also tackle the underlying causes of poor he
 alth and disease risk. Those causes are rooted in how and where we live\, 
 learn\, work and play. It’s the child who goes to school hungry and can’t 
 take full advantage of the education that leads to a healthier\, more prod
 uctive adulthood. It’s the low-wage worker who must choose between losing 
 much-needed income and staying home with a sick child. It’s the family tha
 t struggles to find nutritious\, affordable food anywhere in their communi
 ty. It’s the student who can’t walk to school because there are no sidewal
 ks. These are the types of conditions that shape the health and well-being
  of our people and communities.\n\nThankfully\, we can do something. If we
  partner across public and private sectors to ensure decisions are made wi
 th people’s health in mind\, we can build healthier communities and eventu
 ally\, the healthiest nation. We can change our future together\, but we n
 eed your help to get there.\n\nJoin us in observing National Public Health
  Week 2018 and become part of a growing movement to create the healthiest 
 nation in one generation. We’ll celebrate the power of prevention\, advoca
 te for healthy and fair policies\, share strategies for successful partner
 ships\, and champion the role of a strong public health system.
