Georges C. Benjamin MD
[APHA Executive Director]

Dear David,

Thank you! This was one of the best National Public Health Weeks ever! Millions of people around the country were involved and learned about Healthiest Nation 2030. More people celebrated the benefits of public health, read about public health, attended events, sent letters to Congress or interacted on social media than we’ve seen in years.

To cap it off, the U.S. Senate passed a resolution supporting our vision of creating the healthiest nation in one generation!

Let’s build on the momentum!

We need everyone to understand the challenges we face in creating the healthiest nation and the role we all play in getting there. Please, let’s all take one more step to keep the conversation going.

View and share the webcast “Raising the Grade”
View a recording of APHA President Shiriki Kumanyika, Dr. Gail Christopher and our panel of experts as they discuss opportunities that exist and challenges we need to overcome to create the healthiest nation.

Share the healthiest nation infographic
Do your friends and family know that the U.S. is far from the best in most measures of health when compared to other high-income countries? We’ve created a simple infographic that shows our challenges and what we all need to do to improve it. Share it today!

Now’s the time to submit your NPHW news to The Nation’s Health!
We know that held great events during National Public Health Week 2015. So how about letting the rest of the nation know?

The Nation’s Health will feature coverage of events held around the nation in its July issue, and your news and photos could be part of it. See The Nation’s Health website for full submission details. The deadline has been extended to April 20. Don’t delay!

Inspire people to take action
Are you doing something to help create the healthiest nation? Enter our “We Can Do Better” contest. Show us what you are doing to create the healthiest nation with a photo, video, meme or just describing an activity. You can win $100, and we’ll share your entries on APHA’s website to inspire others.

Lead by example
Thousands of people have taken the first step on the path to the healthiest nation by pledging to “create a healthier me” and “create a healthier we.” Have you signed the healthiest nation pledge yet? Have you shared it family, friends and colleagues?

To be successful, we need to focus on the social determinants of health, form broader partnerships and build a movement for change. Together, we can become the healthiest nation!

Sincerely,
Georges C. Benjamin MD
