Public health is more than just health care. It's the steps we take to make sure our neighborhoods and environment are free from pollution. It's making sure our food and water are safe to eat and drink. It's also the relationships we foster in our communities. We're all interconnected. When we all come together to support public health, all of us — individuals, families, communities and the public health field — can achieve the goals of public health.

The University of Kentucky's College of Public Health is proud to celebrate National Public Health Week (NPHW) from April 7-13, 2025, with a series of fun and informative events, service activities, and more that promote public health's passion, purpose, and pathway for a healthier life!
