This is National Public Health Week, and President Barak Obama issued a proclamation recognizing the value public health workers deliver to our country every day.
The proclamation begins:
“During National Public Health Week, we join together to enhance public health — the foundation of our security and well-being — here at home and around the world. By supporting health professionals and embracing our obligations to promote public health and protect our planet, we can uphold our shared responsibility to preserve the promise of a happy and healthy life for our children and grandchildren.”
