April is Public Health Month! The Scott County Health Department is kicking off its celebration during National Public Health Week, April 7 through April 13. This year's campaign, "This Is Public Health", is designed to highlight all the work being done to prevent disease, protect against injury, and promote healthy behaviors.
"This Is Public Health" is not about reciting the definition of public heath, but about opening the community's eyes to the public health happening every day. Each week in April Scott County Health Department will feature a different public health service area. We encourage the community to visit us on our website and on Facebook to see public health in action. Look for the red, "This is Public Health" sticker and pictures of public health happening in Scott County all through April!
