Nourish Interactive Celebrates National Public Health Week

National Public Health Week (NPHW) is a time to recognize the contributions of public health and highlight issues that are important to improving our nation.

This year, National Public Health Week is focusing in on the theme "Public Health is ROI: Save Lives, Save Money."  The theme is designed to highlight the value of prevention of disease and by preventing disease we curb health care spending.

If you are hosting an event, you can share it with NPHW.
