This year’s national theme is “Public Health is Where You Are,” recognizing that where people live has a profound impact on their health and the availability of health-affirming resources in their community.

For so many people, the past two years of this pandemic have been devastating. And we have learned a lot: about our interconnectedness, the health needs in our communities, and the importance of community-based partnerships, especially as we keep working to close the gaps in healthcare outcomes that COVID-19 brought to the forefront.

To celebrate Public Health week, we are happy to be collaborating with many community-based organizations from all over the County to host a series of events that showcase the tremendous work of public health and highlight the great value of partnerships in expanding our reach and ability to better serve diverse communities.

We hope you’ll join us, enjoy the opportunity to participate in a wonderful week of events, and please know that we are grateful to everyone for the collective efforts to protect the health and wellbeing of our more than 10 million LA County residents.
