April 1-7, 1996, has been designated as National Public Health
Week. During this week, federal, state, and local public health
agencies will collaborate with private and educational
organizations to promote healthy lifestyles, encourage
communitywide health-protecting actions, and highlight the unique
and essential services of the public health system. This year's
theme, "Celebrating Success," focuses on the approximately 25 years
of average life expectancy that have been added during the 1900s
through population-based or public health efforts.
