Today is Public Health Thank You Day!
On this Public Health Thank You Day, the Illinois Public Health Association wants to express our deepest gratitude to our members, staff, partners and families for your unwavering dedication to improving and protecting the health of our communities at the local, state and national level.
From the ordinary to the extraordinary, the public health workforce works tirelessly to keep our drinking water clean, our communities healthy, and our children safe from harm. On Monday, November 25, 2024, the Illinois Public Health Association joins other leading public health organizations to take the time to say “thank you” to our public health workforce.
This year’s theme, “Public health is a lifesaver, today and every day“ calls attention to the countless ways public health professionals work daily to promote and protect health and shines a light on their dedication to serving communities across the country and around the globe.
Whether it's ensuring communities have access to healthy foods or working with policymakers to improve the safety of our schools, the public health workforce works continually to make sure we all have the opportunity to live longer, healthier lives.
To all public health professionals -- current, past, and future -- we appreciate all that you do!
