The Department of Public Health will celebrate the 2014 National Public Health Week, April 7 to 11 by hosting Public Health Resource Exhibits throughout the county. Each exhibit will promote a daily theme under the overall National Public Health Week’s campaign, “Public Health: Starts Here” while promoting the programs and services available to the community.
“Promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors and showing the residents that living healthy lives starts with small steps is an essential responsibility of the Department of Public Health” said Dr. Maxwell Ohikhuare, M.D., Public Health Officer. San Bernardino County continues to make great strides in saving lives by promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors and creating awareness of services and resources available to residents.
National Public Health Week educates and engages Americans to create a healthier nation for ourselves and generations to come. Hundreds of events will take place nationally showcasing the value of healthy eating, physical activity and the preventing chronic illnesses.
Public Health will promote its services and resources at the following locations:
