It’s public health week people! Don’t forget to thank all those who… …make sure you have access to benefits, provide you client-centered care, call you to remind you about appointments, coordinate your benefits at farmer’s markets, teach your kids about healthy nutrition and hand washing, vaccinate us against deadly diseases, make sure your tap water is potable (or is fighting to make that a reality), who serve as liaisons among and between communities… …who fight for funding for necessary, life-saving resources, become experts on anything to advocate for better more equitable policies… …who remind you to be more physically active, to quit smoking, who listen to your struggle WHILE you quit smoking…. …who don’t earn that much but make sure your grant programs are effective… …that build evidence-based programs AND the evidence base itself… I could go on. Public health is everything. This week, recognize it. Give hugs and thanks. 🙏

Today marks the beginning of National Public Health Week (NPHW) 🙌🏼🙌🏼 As a public health professional, I am heartened by President Biden's proclamation regarding NPHW, emphasizing "that the healthier Americans are as individuals, the stronger we are as a nation." Public health encompasses a holistic perspective on health and healthcare; it encompasses where we live, work, play, etc. It embraces an upstream approach, creating and implementing equitable systems and policies to foster healthier communities for all populations. This year's theme, "We are all public health," aptly underscores this notion. "Public health is more than just healthcare. It involves the measures we take to ensure our neighborhoods and environment are free from pollution. It's about ensuring the safety of our food and water. It's also about the relationships we cultivate in our communities. We are all interconnected. By uniting to support public health, all of us—individuals, families, communities, and the public health sector—can realize the objectives of public health."

This is incredibly important work. The way to improve healthcare is through real-life interventions and connections at the community level. Progress happens one relationship at a time. "The recommendations identify four public health system dimensions across which most health department and CBO partners can operationalize best practices for transforming their partnerships: organizational culture; leadership and governance; data, measurement and evaluation; and funding and investments. ...As partners tailor the recommendations to their unique and local contexts, they are encouraged to embrace discomfort and to prioritize progress over perfection, paving the way for stronger, more equitable and enduring partnerships."
Recommendations for Strengthening Partnerships Between Health Departments and Community-Based Organizations provides a roadmap for strengthening the relationship of governmental public health and communities to provide better health opportunities for all within the community. Developed by the CDC Foundation, in partnership with Human Impact Partners (HIP) and with support from Kaiser Permanente, the recommendations draw from insights gathered from over 140 health departments, communities and national organizations.
