Public Health Week 2026 - Key Topic 1

Ready. Set. ACTION! Government Partners

Government agencies and public health professionals must row in the same direction. Coordination is the backbone of clean water, safe food, disease prevention and emergency response. Good health doesn’t just happen — it’s built on a foundation of safety and sanitary laws enacted by governments to keep us all healthy.

How to take action and get involved?

✅ Support policies that prioritize equitable distribution of public health resources
✅ Strengthen partnerships between federal and state authorities, public health departments, schools, health care systems, Tribal Nations and local leaders
✅Improve emergency preparedness through shared data systems, workforce investment and readiness training

Together, we can advocate for a stronger foundation and policies that promote a healthier world for all. 🌎

Get involved—volunteer with local health departments or community organizations to support public health policy and preparedness in action. Link in bio
